The largest area of the rectangle which has one side on the X -axis and two vertices on the curve $y = e^{- x^{2}}$ is

Answer:

Solution:

Let $f (t) = t e^{- t^{2}}$

$f^{1} (t) = - 2 t^{2} e^{- t^{2}} + e^{- t^{2}} = e^{- t^{2}} (1 - 2 t^{2}) f^{1} (t) = 0 \Rightarrow t = \frac{1}{2}$

Max area $= 2 \times \frac{1}{2} \times e^{\frac{- 1}{2}} = \frac{2}{e}$
