For every twice differentiable function f:R→[−2,2]f:R \to [ - 2,2] with (f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85{(f(0))^2} + {(f'(0))^2} = 85 , which of the following statement(s) is(are) TRUE?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A There exist r, s ∈\in R, where r < s, such that f is one-one on the open interval (r, s)
  • B There exists x0 ∈\in ( −- 4, 0) such that |f'(x0)| ≤\le 1
  • C lim⁡x→∞f(x)=1\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } f(x) = 1
  • D There exists α\alpha ∈\in ( −- 4, 4) such that f( α\alpha ) + f"( α\alpha ) = 0 and f'( α\alpha ) ≠\ne 0

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

We have,

(f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85{(f(0))^2} + {(f'(0))^2} = 85

and f:R→[−2,2]f:R \to [ - 2,2]

(a) Since, f is twice differentiable function, so f is continuous function.

∴\therefore This is true for every continuous function.

Hence, we can always find x ∈\in (r, s), where f(x) is one-one.

∴\therefore This statement is true.

(b) By L.M.V.T.

f′(c)=f(b)−f(a)b−af'(c) = {{f(b) - f(a)} \over {b - a}}

⇒∣f′(c)∣=∣f(b)−f(a)b−a∣\Rightarrow |f'(c)| = \left| {{{f(b) - f(a)} \over {b - a}}} \right|

⇒∣f′(x0)∣=∣f(0)−f(−4)0+4∣\Rightarrow |f'({x_0})| = \left| {{{f(0) - f( - 4)} \over {0 + 4}}} \right|

=∣f(0)−f(−4)4∣= \left| {{{f(0) - f( - 4)} \over 4}} \right|

Range of f is [ −- 2, 2]

∴\therefore −4≤f(0)−f(−4)≤4- 4 \le f(0) - f( - 4) \le 4

⇒0≤∣f(0)−f(−4)4∣≤1\Rightarrow 0 \le \left| {{{f(0) - f( - 4)} \over 4}} \right| \le 1

Hence, |f'(x0)| = 1.

Hence, statement is true.

(c) As no function is given, then we assume

f(x)=2sin⁡(85x2)f(x) = 2\sin \left( {{{\sqrt {85} x} \over 2}} \right)

∴\therefore f′(x)=85cos⁡(85x2)f'(x) = \sqrt {85} \cos \left( {{{\sqrt {85} x} \over 2}} \right)

Now, (f(0))2+(f′(0))2=(2sin⁡0)2+(85cos⁡0)2{(f(0))^2} + {(f'(0))^2} = {(2\sin 0)^2} + {(\sqrt {85} \cos 0)^2}

(f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85{(f(0))^2} + {(f'(0))^2} = 85

and lim⁡x→∞f(x)\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } f(x) does not exists.

Hence, statement is false.

(d) From option b, ∣f′(x0)∣ ≤1|f'({x_0})|\, \le 1

x0∈(−4,0){x_0} \in ( - 4,0)

∴\therefore (f′(x0))2 ≤1{(f'({x_0}))^2}\, \le 1

Hence, g(x0)=(f(x0))2+(f′(x0))2 ≤4+1g({x_0}) = {(f({x_0}))^2} + {(f'({x_0}))^2}\, \le 4 + 1

[ ∵\because f(x0) ∈\in [ −- 2, 2]

⇒g(x0) ≤5\Rightarrow g({x_0})\, \le 5

Now, let p ∈\in ( −- 4, 0) for which g(p) = 5

Similarly, let q be smallest positive number q ∈\in (0, 4)

such that g(q) = 5

Hence, by Rolle's theorem is (p, q)

g'(c) = 0 for α\alpha ∈\in ( −- 4, 4) and since g(x) is greater than 5 as we move from x = p to x = q

and f(x))2 ≤\le 4

⇒\Rightarrow (f'(x))2 ≥\ge 1 in (p, q)

Thus, g'(c) = 0

⇒\Rightarrow f'f + f'f" = 0

So, f( α\alpha ) + f"( α\alpha ) = 0 and f'( α\alpha ) ≠\ne 0

Hence, statement is true.
