45. Lagranges mean value theorem is not applicable to f(x) in [1, 4] where f(x) =
(1) x2 2x (2) |x 2| (3) x |x| (4) x3
Sol. Answer (2)
f(x) = |x 2| is not derivable at x = 2 (1, 4)
Hence, LMVT is not applicable to f(x) = |x 2| in [1, 4].

Sol. Answer (4)

f (1) f ( 1)
By Lagranges f (c )
1 ( 1)
i.e., 0 = f'(c) where 1 < c < 1
If x > 0, f(x) = x therefore f'(x) = 1 and
If x < 0, f(x) = x therefore f'(x) = 1
Hence, there is no c 0 for which 0 = f'(c) holds. Also at x = 0, f(x) is not differentiable.
Hence, c has no value.

(1) Continuous and differentiable at all x R (2) Continuous but not differentiable at some x
(3) Differentiable but not continuous at x = 0 (4) Neither continuous nor differentiable at x = 0
Sol. Answer (1)
As [x + ] is always an integer and sine of an integral multiple of is zero, therefore, numerator of f(x) is 0
for all x R and denominator is always positive
f(x) = 0 for all x R
So, f(x) is a constant function with Df = R

Here we may generalize the result at x = k (a integer)

R.H.L. at (x = k) = lim [k h]2 [(k h )2 ] k 2 k 2 0

h 0

L.H.L. at ( x k ) lim [k h]2 [(k h )2 ] = (k 1)2 (k2 1) = 2k 2.

If R.H.L. = L.H.L

Hence lim f ( x ) exist and lim f ( x ) 0

Now p'''(2) = 48a + 6b
12 = 48 + 6b
6b = 60 b = 10
Also p''(2) = 12a(2)2 + 12b + 2c
2 = 48 120 + 2c
46 + 120 = 2c c = 37
Hence p''(1) = 12a + 6b + 2c = 12 60 + 74 = 26
