Let f(x)=2+cosx for all real x
STATEMENT-1: For each real t, there exists a point in c in [t,t+π] such that f′(c)=0
STATEMENT-2: f(t)=f(t+2π) for each real t
(A) STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is the correct explanation of STATEMENT-1
(B) STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is not the correct explanation of STATEMENT-1
(C) STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False
(D) STATEMENT-1 is False, STATEMENT-2 is True
Solution
Hint: We have to differentiate the given function f(x)=2+cosx and use the intermediate value theorem for checking STATEMENT-1. So, we have to find a value of c such that f′(c). For STATEMENT-2, we have to use periodic function concepts for f(t)&f(t+2π) and solve both of them.
Complete step-by-step answer:
Given f(x)=2+cosx
If we differentiatef(x) we get,
dxd(f(x))=dxd(2+cosx)
f′(x)=−sinx
We have to use IMVT i.e. intermediate value theorem.
Letfbe a continuous function on the closed [a,b]. Let m be any number between f(a) and f(b). Then there is at least one number c in [a,b] which satisfies f(c)=m.
A function value c exists between [a,b] where f′(c)=0 and value of a and b should be 0.
So in STATEMENT-1 we are given [t,t+π]. So we know −sinx is a continuous function in all limits. So the value of c will be there. Here f′(c)=0, so we get
f′(c)=−sinc
i.e. −sinc=0
We know that the value of sinx is 0 when x=nπ,n∈Z , therefore for value of x=t , we have f′(t)=−sint⇒0 and also at x=t+π, we have f′(t+π)=−sin(t+π)⇒sint⇒0.
So STATEMENT-1 is Correct.
Now in STATEMENT-2 f(t)=f(t+2π)
We have function as f(x)=2+cosx. So we are going to use the periodic function, which is mentioned below.
A periodic function can be defined as a function that repeats its values in regular intervals or periods. So, if we consider a function f , then it is said to be periodic if for some nonzero constant P, we have f(x+P)=f(x); P is called the period of the function.
So let x=t, then we get, f(t)=2+cost and cost is a periodic function, period = 2π.
We know the property that f(x)=f(a+x) where a is the period of f(x).
So in our problem 2π is a period of f(t).
So STATEMENT-2 is Correct.
But STATEMENT-2 is not the correct explanation of STATEMENT-1 because in STATEMENT-1 intermediate mean value theorem is used.
So option(B) is the correct answer.
Note: Don’t jumble the given options and choose the wrong answer, be thorough with the properties. So in STATEMENT-1, we had used property - Intermediate mean value theorem, you should be familiar with this property. For STATEMENT-2 f(x)=f(a+x), we can use this one - periodic function and also the period. Suppose we know for f(x)=sinx we have the periodic function as 2π so sin5x will have a period of 52π.
