Let be a non-constant twice differentiable function defined on , such that and . Then,
Options
- A vanishes atleast twice on
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A. vanishes atleast twice on
Step-by-step solution
Given that,
On differentiating w.r.t. , we get
f^{\prime}(x)=-f^{\prime}(1-x)
Let us put
\Rightarrow \quad 2 f^{\prime}0 \Rightarrow f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=0 and at two points in .
Now,
As, is an odd function which is clear from the following explanation.
Let ,
g(-x)=f\left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right) \sin (-x)=-\sin x f\left(1-\left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)\right)=-\sin x f\left(\frac{1}{2}+x\right)=-g(x)
Moreover, where, .
