        The maximum value of the function\[f(x)=\frac{{{(1+x)}^{0.6}}}{1+{{x}^{0.6}}}\]in the interval [0, 1] is

    A)  \[{{2}^{0.4}}\]                                  

    B)  \[{{2}^{-0.4}}\]

    C)  \[1\]                                    

    D)  \[{{2}^{0.6}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[f(x)=\frac{0.6{{(1+x)}^{-0.4}}(1+{{x}^{0.6}})-0.6{{x}^{-0.4}}{{(1+x)}^{0.6}}}{{{(1+{{x}^{0.6}})}^{2}}}\] \[=0.6.\frac{(1+{{x}^{0.6}})-{{x}^{-0.4}}.{{(1+x)}^{1}}}{{{(1+{{x}^{0.6}})}^{2}}{{(1+x)}^{0.4}}}\] \[=0.6.\frac{(1+{{x}^{0.6}}){{x}^{0.4}}-(1+x)}{{{(1+{{x}^{0.6}})}^{2}}{{(1+x)}^{0.4}}.{{x}^{0.4}}}\] \[=0.6.\frac{{{x}^{0.4}}-1}{{{(1+{{x}^{0.6}})}^{2}}{{(1+x)}^{0.4}}.{{x}^{0.4}}}<0\] Hence,\[f(x)\]is decreasing. \[\therefore \]  \[f{{(x)}_{\max }}=f(0)=1\]
