    The  greatest  value  of the  function \[\frac{n(n+1)d}{2n}\]in\[\frac{n(n-1)d}{2n+1}\] is

    A) \[f(x)=x{{e}^{x}}^{(1-x)},\]                                         

    B) \[\left[ 1\frac{1}{2},1 \right]\]

    C)  ?e                                         

    D) e

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have,\[f(x)=x{{e}^{-x}}\] On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get \[f'(x)={{e}^{-x}}(1-x)\] Put\[f'(x)=0\]\[\Rightarrow \]x = 1 Now,\[f(0)=0\]and\[\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,x{{e}^{-x}}\] \[=\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{x}{{{e}^{x}}}=\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{x}{{{e}^{x}}}=0\] Hence, the greatest value of f (x) is\[\frac{x}{e}.\]
