The smallest value of the constant \(m>0\) for which \(f(x)=9 m x-1+\frac{1}{x} \geq 0\) for all \(x>0\), is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{9}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{16}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{36}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{81}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{36}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(f(x)=9 m x-1+\frac{1}{x} \geq 0\) Now, \(\quad 9 m x^2-x+1 \geq 0\) For \(f(x) \geq 0, D\) should be less than 0 . \[ D=1-36 m \] \[ \begin{array}{rlrl} & & 1-36 m & \leq 0 \\ \therefore & m & \geq \frac{1}{36} \end{array} \]
