Q. Let $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{r} |x|,\ \ for\ 0 < |x| \leq 2 \\ 1,\ \ \ \ \ \ for\ \ \ x = 0 \end{array} \right.\$, then at $x = 0,\ f$ has

A) A local maximum
B) A local minimum
C) No local extremum
D) No local maximum
Explanation

(a)
Given,
$f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{r}
|x|,\ \ for\ 0 < |x| \leq 2 \\
1,\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ for\ x = 0
\end{array} \right.\$
It is clear from the graph that $f(x)$ has local maximum.
