Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x) = x+1+\frac{1}{x+1}\) \(f'(x) = 1-\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}\) \(f'(x)=0 \Rightarrow (x+1)^2=1 \Rightarrow x+1=\pm 1 \Rightarrow x=0, x=-2\) \(f''(x) = \frac{2}{(x+1)^3}\) \(f''(-2) = -2 \(f''(0) = 2 > 0 \Rightarrow \beta = 0\), \(m = f(0) = 2\)…
