Let the function \( f(x) \) be defined as follows: \( f(x)= \) \( \left\{\begin{array}{cc}x^{3}+x^{2}-10 x & -1 \leq x<0 \\ \cos x & 0 \leq x<\frac{\pi}{2} \\ 1+\sin x & \frac{\pi}{2} \leq x \leq \pi\end{array}, \) then \right. which of the following statement(s) is/are correct This question has multiple correct options
- A. Local maximum at \( x=0 \)
- B. Local maximum at \( x=\frac{\pi}{2} \)
- C. Absolute maxima at \( x=-1 \)
- D. Absolute minima at \( x=\pi \)
Step-by-step solution
At x = π/2, f(π/2) = 1 + sin(π/2) = 2. For x just left of π/2, f(x) = cos x is near 0 (< 2); for x just right, f(x) = 1 + sin x is slightly less than 2. Thus, in a neighborhood, f(x) ≤ f(π/2), so it is a local maximum.
