Q29:
The maximum value of $[x(x-1)+1]^{\frac{1}{3}}$, $0 \le x \le 1$ is
Solution :
Step 1: Defining the Function and Domain
Let the given function be denoted by $f(x)$ on the closed interval $[0, 1]$:
$f(x) = [x(x-1) + 1]^{\frac{1}{3}}$
Expanding the quadratic expression within the brackets: $f(x) = [x^2 - x + 1]^{\frac{1}{3}}$
Step 2: Finding Critical Points via Differentiation
To determine the local extrema, we calculate the first derivative $f'(x)$ using the chain rule [Per the Chain Rule of Calculus, $\frac{d}{dx}g(h(x)) = g'(h(x)) \cdot h'(x)$]:
$f'(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x^2 - x + 1)^{-\frac{2}{3}} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 - x + 1)$
$f'(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x^2 - x + 1)^{-\frac{2}{3}} \cdot (2x - 1)$
Step 3: Setting the Derivative to Zero
Critical points occur where $f'(x) = 0$ or is undefined. Since $(x^2 - x + 1)$ is always positive for all real $x$ (the discriminant $D = (-1)^2 - 4(1)(1) = -3 < 0$), the derivative is defined for all $x \in [0, 1]$.
$f'(x) = 0 \implies 2x - 1 = 0 \implies x = \frac{1}{2}$
Since $\frac{1}{2} \in [0, 1]$, this is a valid critical point.
Step 4: Evaluating the Function at Boundaries and Critical Points
Per the Extreme Value Theorem, the absolute maximum of a continuous function on a closed interval occurs at either a critical point or the boundaries.
| Point ($x$) | Calculation $f(x) = (x^2 - x + 1)^{1/3}$ | Result |
|---|---|---|
| $x = 0$ | $(0^2 - 0 + 1)^{1/3}$ | $1$ |
| $x = 1/2$ | $((\frac{1}{2})^2 - \frac{1}{2} + 1)^{1/3} = (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{2}{4} + \frac{4}{4})^{1/3}$ | $(\frac{3}{4})^{1/3}$ |
| $x = 1$ | $(1^2 - 1 + 1)^{1/3}$ | $1$ |
Step 5: Visual Representation of the Function
Step 6: Comparative Analysis
Comparing the values calculated: $1$, $(\frac{3}{4})^{1/3}$, and $1$.
Since $(\frac{3}{4}) < 1$, it follows that $(\frac{3}{4})^{1/3} < 1$.
Therefore, the maximum value attained at the endpoints $x=0$ and $x=1$ is $1$.
Final Solution: The maximum value of the function on the interval $[0, 1]$ is 1.
