If f : R → R is a twice differentiable function such that f ′ ′ x > 0 for all x ∈ R and f 1 2 = 1 2 , f 1 = 1 then
Options
- A0 < f ′ 1 ≤ 1 2
- Bf ′ 1 ≤ 0
- Cf ′ 1 > 1
- D1 2 < f ′ 1 ≤ 1
Correct answer
C. f ′ 1 > 1
Step-by-step solution
Using LMVT on f x for x ∈ 1 2 , 1 f 1 - f 1 2 1 - 1 2 = f ' c , where c ∈ 1 2 , 1 1 - 1 2 1 2 = f ' c ⇒ f ' c = 1 , where c ∈ 1 2 , 1 ∵ f ″ x > 0 ∀ x ∈ R ∴ f ' x is an increasing function ∀ x ∈ R ∴ f ′ 1 > 1
