Let f ( x ) = sin x + x 3 - 3 x 2 + 4 x - 2 cos x for x ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) . Consider the following statements I. f has a zero in 0 ,   1 II. f is monotone in 0 ,   1 Then
Options
- AI and II are true
- BI is true and II are false
- CI is false and II are true
- DI and II are false
Correct answer
A. I and II are true
Step-by-step solution
f x = sin x + x 3 - 3 x 2 + 4 x - 2 cos x , x ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) x ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) f ( 0 ) = - 2 > 0 f ( 1 ) = sin 1 < 0 ∵ f ( 0 ) · f ( 1 ) < 0 ⇒ f ( x ) has a zero in 0 ,   1 Now, f x = sin x + ( x - 1 ) 3 + ( x - 1 ) cos x ⇒ f ' x = 3 ( x - 1 ) 2 + 2 cos x - sin x ( x - 1 ) 3 + x - 1 = 3 ( x - 1 ) 2 + 2 cos x + ( 1 - x ) 3 + ( 1 - x ) sin x > 0 ∀ x ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) ⇒ f ( x ) is monotone in 0 ,   1
