Quantitative Aptitude – Algebra – Functions – Let f(x)=max{5x, 52-2x^2}

December 22nd, 2019 by

Quantitative Aptitude – Algebra - Functions – Let f(x)=max{5x, 52-2x^2} Slot -2 – Quantitative Aptitude – Algebra - Functions – Let f(x)=max{5x, 52-2x^2}  Let f(x)=max{5x, 52-2x^2}, where x is any positive real number. Then the minimum possible value of f(x) is? Answer: 20 Solution: For f(x) to be minimum , 5 = 52 − 2^2 2^2+5 −52 =0 −42+13=0 = 4 Thus minimum value of f(x) = 5x = 5*4 = 20 Other posts related to Quantitative Aptitude – Modern Maths Permutation and Combination – Fundamental Principle
