MCQ
The function $f(x) = x + \sin x$ has
  • A
    A minimum but no maximum
  • B
    A maximum but no minimum
  • Neither maximum nor minimum
  • D
    Both maximum and minimum

Answer

Correct option: C.
Neither maximum nor minimum
c
(c) $ f(x) = x + \sin x$ ==> $f'(x) = 1 + \cos x$

Now $f'(x) = 0 \Rightarrow 1 + \cos x = 0 \Rightarrow \cos x = - 1 \Rightarrow x = \pi $

Now $f''(x) = - \sin x$,$f''(\pi ) = 0$,,

$f'''(\pi ) = 1 \ne 0$

$\therefore$ Neither maximum nor minimum.
