Let \(f, g\) and \(h\) be real-valued functions defined on the interval \([0,1]\) by \(f(x)=e^{x^2}+e^{-x^2}, \quad g(x)=x e^{x^2}+e^{-x^2}\) and \(h(x)=x^2 e^{x^2}+e^{-x^2}\). If \(a, b\) and \(c\) denote respectively, the absolute maximum of \(f, g\) and \(h\) on \([0,1]\), then

  1. A
    \(a=b\) and \(c \neq b\)
  2. B
    \(a=c\) and \(a \neq b\)
  3. C
    \(a \neq b\) and \(c \neq b\)
  4. D
    \(a=b=c\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D)
\(a=b=c\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given function,
\[
\begin{aligned}
& f(x)=e^{x^2}+e^{-x^2}, \\
& g(x)=x e^{x^2}+e^{-x^2} \text { and } \\
& h(x)=x^2 e^{x^2}+e^{-x^2} \text { are } \quad \text { strictly }
\end{aligned}
\]
increasing on \([0,1]\). Hence, at \(x=1\), the given function attains absolute maximum all equal to \(e+\frac{1}{e}\).
\[
\Rightarrow \quad a=b=c
\]
