    please explain how you calculated Emin?

    eduncle-logo-app

    at the last few steps?

    eduncle-logo-app

    see double derivative is max at x= 1/root 2

    eduncle-logo-app

    so for E min double derivative must be lest than zero

    eduncle-logo-app

    so it is less than zero at x=1/root 2

    eduncle-logo-app

    put x=1/root 2 in V and E min will come
