Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) a

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because f(x)=a+(x-4)^{4 / 9}\) \(\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=0+\frac{4}{9}(x-4)^{-5 / 9}\) Clearly, at \(x=4, f^{\prime}(x)\) is not defined Hence, \(x=4\) is the point of extremum. \(\because \quad f(4)=a+(4-4)^{4 / 9}=a\) \(\therefore\) The minimum value of \(f(x)\) is…
