Application of DerivativeHard

Question

Let f(x) be a nonzero function whose all successive derivative exist and are nonzero. If f(x), f′(x) and f″(x) are in G.P. and f(0) = 1, f′(0) = 1, then -

Options

A.f′(x) < 0 ∀ x ∈ R
B.f″(x) < 1 ∀ x ∈ R
C.f″(0) ≠  f″′(0)
D.f″(x) > 0 ∀ x ∈ R

Solution

(f′(x))2 = f(x)f″(x)
⇒ (y′) 2 = yy″
dx ⇒ ln y = ln y′ + c1
f(0) =1, f′(0) =1 ⇒ c1 = 0
∴ y = y′
⇒  1 dx ⇒ ln y = x + c2
f (0) = 1   c2 = 0
∴   y = ex
y″ > 0 ∀ x ∈ R
