The following figure shows the graph of a differentiable function y = f ( x ) on the interval [ a , b ] (not containing 0 ). Let g(x)=f(x) / x which of the following is a possible graph of y=g(x) ?
Options
- AFig. 1
- BFig. 2
- CFig. 3
- DFig. 4
Correct answer
B. Fig. 2
Step-by-step solution
array l f^ (c)=0 f^ (c⁻ )>0 f^ (c⁺ ) < 0 g(x)= f(x) x g^ (x)= x f^ (x)-1 x² g^ (c⁺ )= _ h 0 (c+h) f^ (c+h)-1 (c+h)² < 0 (f^ (c+h) < 0 ) array hence fig.(2)
