The correct option is A neither of two at x=0
Let f be a sufficiently differentiable function.
f′(c)=f′′(c)=...=fn(c)=0 where c is a number n the domain of f and n is an integer, then one of the following is true:
n is odd and we have a local extremum at c. More precisely:
1. fn+1(c)<0, then c is a point of a maximum
2. fn+1(c)<0, then c is a point of a minimum
Or
n is even and we have a (local) saddle point at c. More precisely:
1. fn+1(c)<0, then c is a strictly decreasing point of inflection.
2. fn+1(c)<0, then c is a strictly increasing point of inflection.
We have f′(x)=(3−x).2e2x−e2x−4ex−4xex−1=0
For maxima or minima,
f′(x)=(5−2x)e2x−4(1+x)ex−1=0
This is satisfied for x=0
Now, f′′(x)=(5−2x)⋅2e2x−2e2x−4ex−4(1+x)ex=10−2−4−4=0 at x=0
So, we find f′′′(x), We have f′′′(x)=(8−4x)⋅2e2x−4e2x−4ex−4(2+x)ex=16−4−4−8=0 at x=0
So we find the next differential coefficient fiv(x)
We have fiv(x)=(12−8x)⋅2e2x−8e2x−4ex−4(3+x)ex=24−8−4−12=0 at x=0
Now fv(x)=(12−8x)4e2x−8⋅2e2x−8.2e2x−4ex−4(3+x)ex=48−16−16−4−4−12=−4≠0 at x=0
Hence f(x) has neither maximum nor minimum at x=0.
