Question:

Let S be the set of all twice differentiable functions f from R to R such that \(\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}(x)>0\) for all x∈(-1,1). For f∈S, let Xf be the number of points x∈(-1,1) for which f(x)=x.Then which of the following statements is(are) true? 

Updated On: Jul 13, 2024
  • There exists a function f∈S such that Xf=0
  • For every function f∈S, we have Xf ≤ 2
  • There exists a function f∈S such that Xf=2
  • There does not exist any function f is S such that Xf=1

The Correct Option is A, B, C

Solution and Explanation

The accurate choices are (A), (B), and (C). Given that f′′(x)>0 and f(x)−x=0, we need to determine the number of solutions. Let g(x)=f(x)−x, which implies g′(x)=f′(x)−1 and g′′(x)=f′′(x)>0. This indicates the presence of concave possibilities

The correct options are (A),(B) and (C).

Methods of Integration

Given below is the list of the different methods of integration that are useful in simplifying integration problems:

Integration by Parts:

 If f(x) and g(x) are two functions and their product is to be integrated, then the formula to integrate f(x).g(x) using by parts method is:

∫f(x).g(x) dx = f(x) ∫g(x) dx − ∫(f′(x) [ ∫g(x) dx)]dx + C

Here f(x) is the first function and g(x) is the second function.

Method of Integration Using Partial Fractions:

The formula to integrate rational functions of the form f(x)/g(x) is:

∫[f(x)/g(x)]dx = ∫[p(x)/q(x)]dx + ∫[r(x)/s(x)]dx

where

f(x)/g(x) = p(x)/q(x) + r(x)/s(x) and

g(x) = q(x).s(x)

Integration by Substitution Method

Hence the formula for integration using the substitution method becomes:

∫g(f(x)) dx = ∫g(u)/h(u) du

Integration by Decomposition

Reverse Chain Rule

This method of integration is used when the integration is of the form ∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx. In this case, the integral is given by,

∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx = g(f(x)) + C
