  • \(|𝑓'(π‘₯)βˆ’π‘”'(π‘₯)|<6β‡’βˆ’1<π‘₯<1\)
  • \(𝑔(βˆ’2)βˆ’π‘“(βˆ’2)=20\)
  • There exists \(π‘₯_0∈(1,\frac{3}{2})\) such that \(𝑓(π‘₯0)=𝑔(π‘₯0)\)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

(A)From \( f'(x) = g''(x) + 6x \), integrate to find \( f(x) \): \[ f'(x) = g'(x) + 3x^2 + C_1. \] (B)Using \( f'(1) = 9 \): \[ 9 = g'(1) + 3(1) + C_1 \implies C_1 = 2. \] (C)Integrate again to find \( f(x) \): \[ f(x) = g(x) + x^3 + 2x + C_2. \] (D)Using \( f(2) = 3g(2) = 12 \): \[ 12 = g(2) + 8 + 4 + C_2 \implies C_2 = -4. \] (E)Thus: \[ f(x) = g(x) + x^3 + 2x - 4. \] (F) Compute \( h(x) = f(x) - g(x) = x^3 + 2x - 4 \). For \( -1 < x < 2 \), the range of \( h(x) \) is: \[ -7 < h(x) < 4 \implies |h(x)| < 8. \] However, \( |h(x)| \geq 7 \), so option (1) is not true.

Concepts Used:

Differential Equations

A differential equation is an equation that contains one or more functions with its derivatives. The derivatives of the function define the rate of change of a function at a point. It is mainly used in fields such as physics, engineering, biology and so on.

Orders of a Differential Equation

First Order Differential Equation

The first-order differential equation has a degree equal to 1. All the linear equations in the form of derivatives are in the first order. It has only the first derivative such as dy/dx, where x and y are the two variables and is represented as: dy/dx = f(x, y) = y’

Second-Order Differential Equation

The equation which includes second-order derivative is the second-order differential equation. It is represented as; d/dx(dy/dx) = d2y/dx2 = f”(x) = y”.

Types of Differential Equations

Differential equations can be divided into several types namely

  • Ordinary Differential Equations
  • Partial Differential Equations
  • Linear Differential Equations
  • Nonlinear differential equations
  • Homogeneous Differential Equations
  • Nonhomogeneous Differential Equations
