This function is defined on entire and is infinitely differentiable. The necessary condition of extremum for such a function is
The derivative of is
The only solution of the equation is
because
for all
Moreover, this fact gives us that
is positive for positive
and negative for negative
so
decreases on
and increases on
Therefore is the point where a local minimum is reached. The value of the function at this point is
