If f x is a differentiable function satisfying f ' x ≤ 2 ∀ x ∈ 0 , 4 and f 0 = 0 , then
Options
- Af x = 18 has no solution in x ∈ 0,4
- Bf x = 18 has more than 2 solutions in x ∈ 0,4
- Cf x = 14 has 3 solutions in x ∈ 0,4
- Df x = 20 has 2 solutions in x ∈ 0,4
Correct answer
A. f x = 18 has no solution in x ∈ 0,4
Step-by-step solution
Applying LMVT in x ∈ 0 , t for f x , we get, f ' c = f t − f 0 t − 0 ⇒ f ' c = f t t ≤ 2 ⇒ f t ≤ 2 t as t ∈ 0 , 4 ∴ f t ≤ 8 ⇒ - 8 ≤ f t ≤ 8
