Mathematics Question on Differentiability
Let f′(x), be differentiable ∀x. If f(1)=−2 and f′(x)≥2∀x∈[1,6], then
A
f(6)<8
B
f(6)≥8
C
f(6)≥5
D
f(6)≤8
Answer
f(6)≥8
Explanation
Solution
Since, f′(x) is differentiable ∀x∈[1,6]
∴ By Lagrange?s mean value theorem,
f′(x)=6−1f(6)−f(1)
∵f′(x)≥2∀x∈[1,6] (given )
⇒∴5f(6)+2≥2 [∵f(1)=−2]
⇒f(6)≥10−2⇒f(6)≥8
