For (m > 1, n > 1 ), the value of (c ) for which the Rolle's theorem is applicable for the function (f(x)=x^ 2 m-1 (a-x)^ 2 n ) in ((0, a) ) is
Options
- A( 2 a m-1 m+2 n-1 )
- B( a(m-n+1) 2 m+2 n )
- C( a(2 m-1) 2 m+2 n-1 )
- D( a(2 m+1) m+n-1 )
Correct answer
C. ( a(2 m-1) 2 m+2 n-1 )
Step-by-step solution
Since it is given that Rolle's theorem is applicaple for the function (f(x)=x^ 2 m-1 (a-x)^ 2 n ) in ((0, a). ) ( aligned & So, & f^ (x)=(2 m-1) x^ 2 m-2 (a-x)^ 2 n -2 n(a-x)^ 2 n-1 x^ 2 m-1 & at x=c, m > 1, n > 1 & f^ (c)=0 & (2 m-1) c^ 2 m-2 =2 n c^ 2 m-1 (a-c)^ 2 n-1 & (2 m-1) c = 2 n a-c & c= a(2 m-1) 2 n+2 m-1 aligned ) Hence, option (3) is correct.
