Maximum point of a modulus function

945 Views Asked by At

For our project on Maxima and Minima of functions, we have to do functions of type $\frac{k}{|x-a|+|x-b|}$.

So, I chose $f(x)=\frac{2}{|x-1|+|x-2|}$

I noticed that the derivative is positive for $x<1$, equal to zero for $1 \le x <2$ and negative for $x \ge 2$. So, the derivative does not change its sign at a certain point, but over an interval. In fact the graph of $f(x)$ looks like this-

So, my question is, what is the point of maximum? Because there are infinite points where the function attains maximum value.
