117. Examine the applicability of Mean Value Theorem for all three functions given in the above exercise 2.
117. Solution :
Mean Value Theorem states that for a function f[a,b] →R, if
(a) f is continuous on [a, b]
(b) f is differentiable on (a, b)
then, there exists some c ∈ (a, b) such that
Therefore, Mean Value Theorem is not applicable to those functions that do not satisfy any of the two conditions of t

f (x) is an even function
So, f (x) has at least four roots in (-2, 2)
So, g (x) has at least two roots in (-2, 2)
now number of roots of f (x)
It is same as number of roots of will have atleast 4 roots in (-2, 2)
Let
So, f(x) = x
Now,
f(x) = αx – b
option (D) satisfies
f (x) = f (6 – x) Þ f' (x) = -f' (6 – x) …. (1)
put x = 0, 2, 5
f' (0) = f' (6) = f' (2) = f' (4) = f' (5) = f' (1) = 0
and from equation (1) we get f' (3) = -f' (3)
So f' (x) = 0 has minimum 7 roots in
h (x) = f' (x) . f' (x)
h' (x) = (f' (x)2 + f' (x) f' (x)
h
1 + x? - x? = a? (1+x)? + a? (1+x) + a? (1+x)² . + a? (1+x)?
Differentiate
4x³ - 5x? = a? + 2a? (1+x) + 3a? (1+x)².
12x² - 20x³ = 2a? + 6a? (1+x).
Put x = -1
12 + 20 = 2a? ⇒ a? = 16
