Mean Value Theoram exercise multiple choice question 1

Answer:
Option (c)
Hint:
You must know about the concept of roots of the equation.
Given:
Polynomial equation,
$a_{n}x^{n}+a_{n-1\; }x^{n-1}+a_{n-2}\; x^{n-2}+....+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{1}x+a_{0}=0$
n being a positive integer, has two different real roots $\alpha$ and $\beta$ .
Solution:
$f(x)=a_{n}x^{n}+a_{n-1\; }x^{n-1}+a_{n-2}\; x^{n-2}+....+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{1}x+a_{0}=0$
Now, $f(\alpha )=0$ [ $\because \alpha$ is root of equation]
$f(\beta )=0$ [ $\because \beta$ is root of equation]

Now, $f^{'}(x)=na_{n}x^{n-1}+(n-1)a_{n-1\; }x^{n-2}+....+a_{1}=0$ has at least one root in $\left [ \alpha ,\beta \right ]$ .
Hence, option (c) is correct.

Mean Value Theoram exercise multiple choice question 2

Answer:
Option (c)
Hint:
Use Rolle’s Theorem.
Given:
$4a+2b+c=0$ and $3ax^{2}+2bx+c=0$ has at least one real root.
Solution:
Let, $f(x)=ax^{3}+bx^{2}+cx+d$
$f(0)=d$
$f(2)=a\left ( 2 \right )^{3}+b\left ( 2 \right )^{2}+c\left ( 2 \right )+d$
$=8a+4b+2c+d$
$=2(4a+2b+c)+d$
$=0+d$ $\left [ \because 4a+2b+c=0 \right ]$
$f(2)=d$
$\therefore f$ is continuous in closed interval [0,2]
$f(0)=f(2)$
As per Rolle’s Theorem,
$f^{'}(x)=3ax^{2}+2bx+c$
$f^{'}(\alpha )=3a\alpha ^{2}+2b\alpha +c$
$3a\alpha ^{2}+2b\alpha +c=0$
Hence, equation $f(x)$ has at least one root in the interval (0,2)
$\therefore f(x)$ must have one root in the interval (0,2) .
So, option (c) is correct.

Mean Value Theoram exercise multiple choice question 3

Answer:
Option (b)
Hint:
You must know about Lagrange’s mean value theorem.
Given:
$f(x)=x+\frac{1}{x},\; x\in \left [ 1,3 \right ]$
Solution:
$f(x)=x+\frac{1}{x},\; x\in \left [ 1,3 \right ]$
$f(x)=\frac{x^{2}+1}{x}$
Using mean value theorem,
$f^{'}(c)=\frac{f\left ( b \right )-f\left ( a \right )}{b-a}$
$f^{'}(c)=\frac{f\left ( 3 \right )-f\left ( 1 \right )}{3-1}$ $\left [ \because x=c,\; b=3,\; a=1 \right ]$
$f^{'}(c)=\frac{\left ( 3+\frac{1}{3} \right )-\left ( 1+\frac{1}{1} \right )}{3-1}$
$\Rightarrow \; 1-\frac{1}{c^{2}}=\frac{\frac{9+1-6}{3}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \; 1-\frac{1}{c^{2}}=\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \; 1-\frac{1}{c^{2}}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \; 1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{c^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \; 1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{c^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \; \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{c^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \; c^{2}=3$
$\Rightarrow \;c=\pm \sqrt{3}$
but only $c=\sqrt{3}\in \left [ 1,3 \right ]$
Hence option (b) is correct.

Mean Value Theoram exercise multiple choice question 4 maths

Answer:
Option (c)
Hint:
Prove mean value theorem
Given: $f^{'}(x_{1})=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$
Solution:
Mean value theorem,
$f(x)$ is continuous in $\left [ a,b \right ]$
$f(x)$ is differentiable in $\left ( a,b \right )$
$f^{'}(x_{1})=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$
$a< x_{1}< b$
$\therefore f^{'}(x_{1})=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$
$\Rightarrow a< x_{1}< b$
Hence, option (c) is correct.

Mean Value Theoram exercise multiple choice question 5

Answer:
Option (b)
Hint:
We will use the concept of Rolle’s Theorem.
Given:
$\phi (x)=a^{\sin x},a> 0$ and Rolle’s theorem is applicable to it.
Solution:
$\phi (x)=a^{\sin x},a> 0$
Differentiate it with respect to ' $x$ '
$\phi ^{'}(x)=\log a\left ( \cos x.a^{\sin x} \right )$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \phi ^{'}(c)=\log a\left ( \cos c.a^{\sin c} \right )$
Let, $\phi (c)=0$
$\Rightarrow \; \;\log a\left ( \cos c.\; a^{\sin c} \right )=0$
$\Rightarrow \; \;\cos c.\; a^{\sin c}=0$
$\Rightarrow \; \;\cos c=0$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \cos c=\cos \frac{\pi }{2}$ $\left [ \because \cos \frac{\pi }{2} =0\right ]$
$\Rightarrow \; \; c=\frac{\pi }{2}\in \left [ 0,\pi \right ]$
Hence, Rolle’s Theorem is applicable in the interval $\left [ 0,\pi \right ]$
Option (b) is correct.

Mean Value Theoram exercise multiple choice question 6

Answer:
option (a) 2
Hint:
Use Rolle’s Theorem formula
Given:
$f(x)=2x^{3}-5x^{2}-4x+3,\; x\in \left [ \frac{1}{3},3 \right ]$
Solution:
We know that,
$f(x)=ax^{3}+bx^{2}+cx+d,x\in \left [ a,b \right ]$
$f(0)=d$
$f^{'}(x)=6x^{2}-10x-4$
As per Rolle’s Theorem,
$f^{'}(x)=6x^{2}-10x-4$
$f^{'}(c)=6c^{2}-10c-4$
$f^{'}(c)=0$
$\Rightarrow 6c^{2}-10c-4=0$
$\Rightarrow 2(3c^{2}-5c-2)=0$
$\Rightarrow 3c^{2}-5c-2=0$
$\Rightarrow 3c^{2}-6c+c-2=0$
$\Rightarrow (3c+1)(c-2)=0$
$\Rightarrow c=2,\frac{-1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow c=2$ $\left [ \because \frac{-1}{3}\notin \left ( \frac{1}{3},3 \right ) \right ]$
Hence, Option (a) is correct.

Mean Value Theoram exercise multiple choice question 7

Answer:
Option (a)
Hint:
Find the slope of points.
Given:
$y=x\log x$ parallel to the chord joining the points (1,0) and (e,e) .
Solution:
Slope of points $=\frac{e-0}{e-1}$
$y=x\log x$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=1+log x$
Now, $1+log\; x=\frac{e}{e-1}$ [? slope of tangent $=\frac{dy}{dx}$ ]
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; \;\; \; \log x=\frac{e}{e-1}-1$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; \;\; \; \log x=\frac{e-(e-1)}{e-1}$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; \;\; \; \log x=\frac{1}{e-1}$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; \;\; \; x=e^{\frac{1}{e-1}}$
Hence option (a) is correct.

Mean Value Theoram exercise multiple choice question 8 maths

Answer:
Option (c)
Hint:
You must know about Rolle’s Theorem.
Given: $f(x)=\frac{x(x+1)}{e^{x}}$ defined on [ -1, 0]
Solution:
$f(x)=\frac{x(x+1)}{e^{x}}$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f(x)=\frac{x^{2}+x}{e^{x}}$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f^{'}(x)=\frac{e^{x}\left ( 2x+1 \right )-\left ( x^{2}+x \right )\left ( e^{x} \right )}{e^{2x}}$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f^{'}(x)=\frac{\left ( 2x+1 \right )-\left ( x^{2}+x \right )}{e^{x}}$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f^{'}(c)=\frac{\left ( 2c+1 \right )-\left ( c^{2}+c \right )}{e^{c}}$
Using Rolle’s Theorem,
$f^{'}(c)=0$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; \frac{\left ( 2c+1 \right )-\left ( c^{2}+c \right )}{e^{c}}=0$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; 2c+1-c^{2}-c=0$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; c^{2}+c+1=0$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; c^{2}-c-1=0$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; c=\frac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^{2}-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}$ $\left [ \because c=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a} \right ]$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; c=\frac{1\pm \sqrt{1+4}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; c=\frac{1\pm \sqrt{5}}{2}$
but $\; \; \; \; \; c=\frac{1- \sqrt{5}}{2}\in \left [ -1,0 \right ]$
Hence option (c) is correct.

Mean Value Theoram exercise multiple choice question 9

Answer:

Option (d)

Hint:

Find the derivative ofand then apply the mean value theorem.

Given:

$f(x)=x(x-2),x\in \left [ 1,2 \right ]$

Solution:

$f(x)=x(x-2)$

$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f(x)=x^{2}-2x$

$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f^{'}(x)=2x-2$

$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f^{'}(c)=2c-2$

Using mean value theorem,

$f^{'}(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f^{'}(c)=\frac{0-(-1)}{2-1}$ $\left [ \because b=2,a=1 \right ]$

$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f^{'}(c)=\frac{1}{1}$

$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; 2c-2=1$ $\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; \left [ \because f^{'}(c)=2c-2 \right ]$

$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; 2c=1+2$

$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; c=\frac{3}{2}$

Hence option (d) is correct.

Mean Value Theoram exercise multiple choice question 10

Answer:
Option (a)
Hint:
Differentiate the given function and then apply Rolle’s Theorem.
Given:
$f(x)=x^{3}-3x,x\in \left [ 0,\sqrt{3} \right ]$
Solution:
$f(x)=x^{3}-3x,x\in \left [ 0,\sqrt{3} \right ]$
$f(x)=x^{3}-3x$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f^{'}(x)=3x^{2}-3$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f^{'}(c)=3c^{2}-3$
Applying Rolle’s Theorem,
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; f^{'}(c)=0$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; 3c^{2}-3=0$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; 3c^{2}=3$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; c^{2}=1$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; c=\pm 1$
$\Rightarrow \; \; \; \; \; c=1$ $\left [ \because c\in \left [ 0,\sqrt{3} \right ] \right ]$
Hence option (a) is correct.

Mean Value Theoram exercise multiple choice question 11

Answer:
Option (b)
Hint:
You must know about the concept of Rolle’s Theorem.
Given:
$f(x)=e^{x}\sin x,x\in \left [ 0,\pi \right ]$
Solution:
$f(x)=e^{x}\sin x$
$\Rightarrow f^{'}(x)=e^{x}\cos x-\sin x\left ( e^{x} \right )$
$\Rightarrow f^{'}(x)=e^{x}(\cos x -\sin x )$
$\Rightarrow f^{'}(c)=e^{c}(\cos c -\sin c )$
As Rolle’s Theorem,
$\Rightarrow f^{'}(c)=0$
$\Rightarrow e^{c}(\cos c -\sin c )=0$
$\Rightarrow \cos c -\sin c =0$
$\Rightarrow \cos c=\sin c$
$\Rightarrow \sin \left ( \frac{\pi }{2}-c \right )=\sin c$
$\Rightarrow c=\frac{\pi }{2}-c$
$\Rightarrow 2c=\frac{\pi }{2}$
$\Rightarrow c=\frac{\pi }{4}$
Option (b) is correct.
