Let \(f(x)=x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}\) and \(g(x)=x-\frac{1}{x}\) for \(x \in R-\{-1,0,+1\}\), then the local minimum of \(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\) is

  1. A \(-3\)
  2. B \(2 \sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(-2 \sqrt{2}\)
  4. D \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x)=x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)+2, g(x)=x-\frac{1}{x}\) Let \(x-\frac{1}{x}=t\) \(f(x)=t^2+2, g(x)=t\) \(\begin{aligned} & \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=t+\frac{2}{t}=h(t) \\ & h^{\prime}(t)=1-\frac{2}{t^2}\end{aligned}\) On putting \(h^{\prime}(t)=0\)…
