(B) Given $xy = c^2$,we can write $y = \frac{c^2}{x}$.Let $f(x) = ax + by = ax + \frac{bc^2}{x}$.To find the minimum value,differentiate $f(x)$ with respect to $x$:$f'(x) = a - \frac{bc^2}{x^2}$.Set $f'(x) = 0$ for critical points:$a - \frac{bc^2}{x^2} = 0 \implies ax^2 = bc^2 \implies x^2 = \frac{bc^2}{a}$.Since $x$ must be positive for a minimum value in this context (assuming $a, b, c > 0$),we take $x = c\sqrt{\frac{b}{a}}$.Substituting $x$ back into $f(x)$:$f\left(c\sqrt{\frac{b}{a}}\right) = a\left(c\sqrt{\frac{b}{a}}\right) + \frac{bc^2}{c\sqrt{\frac{b}{a}}} = ac\sqrt{\frac{b}{a}} + bc\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} = c\sqrt{ab} + c\sqrt{ab} = 2c\sqrt{ab}$.

What are the minimum and maximum values of the function $f(x) = x^5 - 5x^4 + 5x^3 - 10$?

Let $f : (-\infty, \infty) \to (-\infty, \infty)$ be defined by $f(x) = x^3 + 1$.
Statement-$1$: The function has a local extremum at $x = 0$.
Statement-$2$: The function $f(x)$ is continuous and differentiable on $(-\infty, \infty)$ and $f'(0) = 0$.

If $x_0$ is the point of local minima of $f(x) = \bar{a} \cdot (\bar{b} \times \bar{c})$ where $\bar{a} = x \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}$,$\bar{b} = -2 \hat{i} + x \hat{j} - \hat{k}$,$\bar{c} = 7 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + x \hat{k}$,then the value of $\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}$ at $x = x_0$ is
