The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The correct option are(A and D): f (x) is continuous everywhere and f (x) is not differentiable at one point.

Here, f (x) = min { 1, \(x^2, x^3\) } which could be graphically
shown as 
\(\Rightarrow\) f (x) is continuous for x \(\in\) R and not differentiable at 
x = 1 due to sharp edge. 
Hence, (a) and (d) are correct answers.

What are Maxima and Minima of a Function?

The extrema of a function are very well known as Maxima and minima. Maxima is the maximum and minima is the minimum value of a function within the given set of ranges.

There are two types of maxima and minima that exist in a function, such as:

  • Local Maxima and Minima
  • Absolute or Global Maxima and Minima
