MCQ

Choose the correct answer: The minimum value of $4^{\text{x}}+4^{1-\text{x}},\text{x}\in\text{R}$ is:

A
$2$
✓
$4$
C
$1$
D
$0$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$4$

We know that $\text{AM}\geq\text{GM}$
$\therefore\ \frac{4^\text{x}+4^{1-\text{x}}}{2}\geq\sqrt{4^\text{x}.4^{1-\text{x}}}$
$\Rightarrow4^\text{x}+4^{1-\text{x}}\geq2\sqrt{4^{\text{x}+1-\text{x}}}$
$4^\text{x}+4^{1-\text{x}}\geq2.2$
$\Rightarrow4^\text{x}+4^{1-\text{x}}\geq4$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$
