Let f : R →\to R be given by

f(x)=(x−1)(x−2)(x−5)f(x) = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 5) . Define

F(x)=∫0xf(t)dtF(x) = \int\limits_0^x {f(t)dt} , x > 0

Then which of the following options is/are correct?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A F(x) ≠\ne 0 for all x ∈\in (0, 5)
  • B F has a local maximum at x = 2
  • C F has two local maxima and one local minimum in (0, ∞\infty )
  • D F has a local minimum at x = 1

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given, f : R →\to and

f(x) = (x −- 1)(x −- 2)(x −- 5)

Since, F(x)=∫0xf(t)dtF(x) = \int_0^x {f(t)dt} , x > 0

So, F′(x)=f(x)=(x−1)(x−2)(x−5)F'(x) = f(x) = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 5)

According to wavy curve method

JEE Advanced 2019 Paper 2 Offline Mathematics - Application of Derivatives Question 12 English Explanation

F'(x) changes, it's sign from negative to positive at x = 1 and 5, so F(x) has minima at x = 1 and 5 and as F'(x) changes, it's sign from positive to negative at x = 2, so F(x) has maxima at x = 2.

∵\because F′(2)=∫02f(t)dt=∫02(t3−8t2+17t−10)dtF'(2) = \int\limits_0^2 {f(t)dt = \int\limits_0^2 {({t^3} - 8{t^2}} } + 17t - 10)dt

=[t44−8t33+17t22−10t]02= \left[ {{{{t^4}} \over 4} - 8{{{t^3}} \over 3} + 17{{{t^2}} \over 2} - 10t} \right]_0^2

=4−643+34−20=38−1243=−103= 4 - {{64} \over 3} + 34 - 20 = 38 - {{124} \over 3} = - {{10} \over 3}

∵\because AT the point of maxima x = 2, the functional value F(2), = −103- {{10} \over 3} , is negative for the interval, x ∈\in (0, 5), so F(x) ≠\ne 0 for any value of x ∈\in (0, 5),

Hence, options (a), (b) and (d) are correct.
