Consider the function \(f:(0,\infty)\to(-\infty,\infty)\) given by $$f(x)=\sqrt{x}\log_e(x)-x+1.$$ Then which one of the following statements is TRUE?
The only critical point is x = 1. The derivative remains negative on both sides of x = 1, so there is no sign change and therefore no local maximum or local minimum. Hence option (D) is correct.
Comments and discussions will be available soon.
