Let f ⁡ x = x sin π x , x > 0 . Then for all natural numbers n , f ⁡ ′ x vanishes at
Options
- AA unique point in the interval n , n + 1 2
- BA unique point in the interval n + 1 2 , n + 1
- CA unique point in the interval (n, n + 1)
- DTwo points in the interval (n, n + 1)
Correct answer
B. A unique point in the interval n + 1 2 , n + 1
Step-by-step solution
f x = x sin π x , x > 0 As f ' x vanishes, f ′ x = sin π x + π x cos π x = 0 tan π x = - π x We will draw the graph of tanπ x & - πx . And their intersection points will be the points, where f ' x vanishes.
