Let f:0,1R be a twice differentiable function in 0,1 such that f0=3 and f1=5. If the line y=2x+3 intersects the graph of f at only two distinct points in 0,1, then the least number of points x0,1, at which f''x=0, is

Solution

Let f:0,1R be a twice differentiable function in 0,1 such that f0=3 and f1=5. If the line y=2x+3 intersects the graph of f at only two distinct points in 0,1, then the least number of points x0,1, at which f''x=0, is

Now plotting the diagram of given data we have,

Given fx cuts y=2x+3 at two distinct point betweenx0,1,

So, f'a=f'b=f'c=2 {as slope of given line y=2x+3 is 2}

So we can conclude that f''x is zero for atleast x1a,b & x2b,c
