Detailed Solution

Given: f(x)=xex2

Critical points are the points where either f'x=0 or f'x is not defined.

Step-1 Differentiating, f(x) with respect to x we get f'(x)=(1)·ex2+2xex2(x),

f'x=ex2+2x2ex2 f'(x)=ex21+2x2.

Step-2 Put, f'(x)=0 To calculate critical points .

ex2+2x2ex2=0

ex21+2x2=0

Since, 1+2x2>0xR

Also , ex2>0xR

It is clear that always f'(x)>0, Hence their will be no critical point in f(x)=xex2.

Hence option-4 is the correct answer.
