Given function is
g(x) = \log x
g^{'}(x) = \frac{1}{x}\\ g^{'}(x) = 0\\ \frac{1}{x}= 0\\
Since log x define for positive x i.e. x > 0 
Hence,   by this, we can say that g^{'}(x)> 0 for any value of x
Therefore, there is no c \ \epsilon \ R such that  g^{'}(c) = 0
Hence, the function g(x) = \log x does not have either maxima or minima
