Solution
Hint: An operation O satisfies linear property if O(kf(x))=kO(f(x)), where k is a constant.
Complete step-by-step answer:
In this question, we have to find out whether the four statements are correct or incorrect. So, we will discuss these four statements one by one.
Statement (i): Both are the operations on functions
This statement is true because both differentiation and integration are only applied to a function. So, they both are the operations on functions. For example, if we have a function f(x)=e3x, then,
For differentiation operator i.e. dxd ,
dxdf(x)=dxde3x⇒dxde3x=3e3x
For integration operator i.e. ∫dx ,
∫f(x)dx=∫e3xdx⇒∫e3xdx=3e3x+C
Statement (ii): Both satisfy the property of linearity
An operation O satisfies linear property if O(kf(x))=kO(f(x)), where k is a constant.
For differentiation, we have a property,
dxd(kf(x))=kdxd(f(x))
For integration, we have a property,
∫kf(x)dx=k∫f(x)dx
Hence, from the above two properties we can say that both differentiation and integration satisfy the property of linearity. So, this statement is true.
Statement (iii): It is not necessary that all functions are differentiable and integrable.
It is true that not every function is differentiable or integrable.
For example,
If we consider a function f(x)=∣x∣, we can notice that this function is not differentiable at x=0.
If we consider a function f(x)=ex2, we can notice that it is impossible for us to integrate this function i.e. this function is not integrable.
So, this statement is true.
Statement (iv) Derivative and integral of a function when it exists is a unique function.
It is true that the derivative of a function is unique. But it is not true that the integral of a function is unique. The integral of a particular function can differ by a constant.
For example, if ∫xdx=2x2+C where C can have any value. So, ∫xdx can be different for different values of C.
Hence, this statement is false.
The correct statements are (i),(ii),(iii).
Note: There is a possibility that one may consider the statement (iv) as a correct statement. But since the integral of a function is not unique, it is an incorrect statement.
