JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2021 - 31st August Evening Shift - No. 13)
Let f be any continuous function on [0, 2] and twice differentiable on (0, 2). If f(0) = 0, f(1) = 1 and f(2) = 2, then
f''(x) = 0 for all x $$\in$$ (0, 2)
f''(x) = 0 for some x $$\in$$ (0, 2)
f'(x) = 0 for some x $$\in$$ [0, 2]
f''(x) > 0 for all x $$\in$$ (0, 2)
Explanation
f(0) = 0, f(1) = 1 and f(2) = 2
Let h(x) = f(x) $$-$$ x
Clearly h(x) is continuous and twice differentiable on (0, 2)
Also, h(0) = h(1) = h(2) = 0
$$\therefore$$ h(x) satisfies all the condition of Rolle's theorem.
$$\therefore$$ there exist C1 $$\in$$(0, 1) such that h'(c1) = 0
$$\Rightarrow$$ f'(1) $$-$$ 1 = 0 $$\Rightarrow$$ f'(c1) = 1
also there exist c2 $$\in$$(1, 2) such that h'(c2) = 0
$$\Rightarrow$$ f'(c2) = 1
Now, using Rolle's theorem on [c1, c2] for f'(x)
We have f''(c) = 0, c$$\in$$(c1, c2)
Hence, f''(x) = 0 for some x$$\in$$(0, 2).
