13. Is Rolle’s theorem applicable to f(x) = tan x on [ \(\frac {\pi }{4}, \frac {5\pi }{4}\) ]?
a) Yes
b) No
View Answer
Explanation: Given function is f(x) = tan x on [ \(\frac {\pi }{4}, \frac {5\pi }{4}\) ]
F(x) = tan x is not defined at x on [ \(\frac {\pi }{4}, \frac {5\pi }{4}\) ]
So, f(x) is not continuous on [ \(\frac {\pi }{4}, \frac {5\pi }{4}\) ].
Hence, Rolle’s theorem is not applicable.
14. What is the formula for Lagrange’s theorem?
a) f’(c) = \(\frac {f(a)+f(b)}{b-a}\)
b) f’(c) = \(\frac {f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\)
c) f’(c) = \(\frac {f(a)+f(b)}{b+a}\)
d) f’(c) = \(\frac {f(a)-f(b)}{b+a}\)
View Answer
Explanation: According to Lagrange’s mean value theorem, if f : [a,b] → R is a function such that f is differentiable on (a,b) then the formula for Lagrange’s theorem is f’(c) = \(\frac {f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\).
15. Find ’C’ using Lagrange’s mean value theorem, if f(x) = ex, a = 0, b = 1.
a) ee-1
b) e-1
c) log\(_e^{e+1}\)
d) log\(_e^{e-1}\)
View Answer
Explanation: Given f(x) = ex, a = 0, b = 1
f’(c) = \(\frac {f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\)
ec = \(\frac {e-1}{1-0}\)
ec = e – 1
C = log\(_e^{e-1}\)
