The local maximum value of the function, f x = 2 x x 2 ,   x > 0 , is

The local maximum value of the function, fx=2xx2, x>0, is
  1. 1
  2. 4ee4
  3. (e)2e
  4. (2e)1e

Solution

f'(x)=0 for maximum value
Let y=2xx2

lny=x2ln2x

1yy'=2xln2x+x212x×-2x2

y'=(xy)2ln2x-1

y'=2xx2x2ln2x-1

2ln2x=1

2x=e12

x=2e-12

Then maximum value will be
f2e-12=22e-124e-1=e2e-1=e2e
