If Rolle's theorem holds for the function f x = x 3 - a x 2 + b x - 4 , x ∈ 1 , 2 with f ' 4 3 = 0 , then ordered pair a , b is equal to :
Options
- A- 5 , - 8
- B- 5 , 8
- C5 , 8
- D5 , - 8
Correct answer
C. 5 , 8
Step-by-step solution
f 1 = f 2 ⇒   1 - a + b - 4 = 8 - 4 a + 2 b - 4 ⇒   3 a - b = 7       … 1 Also f ' 4 3 = 0 (given) ⇒   3 x 2 - 2 a x + b x = 4 3 = 0 ⇒   16 3 - 8 a 3 + b = 0 ⇒   8 a - 3 b - 16 = 0             … 2 Solving 1 and 2 a = 5 ,   b = 8
