Let fx = xlogxOn differentiating w.r.t. x, we get    f'(x) = logx - 1logx2For maxima and minima, put f'(x)= 0.logx - 1 = 0          x = eNow,f''(x) = logx2 . 1x - logx - 1 . 2logxxlogx4 f''(x) = 1e - 01 = 1e > 0 f(x) is minimum at x =e.

Hence, minimum value of f(x) at x = e is

           fe = eloge = e
