Question
Suppose that f is differentiable for all x such that f’(x) ≤ 2 for all x. If f(1) = 2 and f(4) = 8 then f(2) has the value equal to -
Options
A.3
B.4
C.6
D.8
Solution
Applying LMVT in [1, 2]
= f′(c1) ∀ c1 ∈ (1,2)f (2) - 2 ≤ 2{∵ f′(x) ≤ 2} ⇒ f(2) ≤ 4 .......(1)
Similarly applying LMVT in [2, 4]
= f′(c2) ∀ c2 ∈ (2, 4)
≤ 2 ⇒ f(2) ≥ 4 ......(2)from (1) & (2) f(2) = 48
