Correct answer: A, B, C, D

The user wants me to solve a multiple-choice question with multiple correct answers from the topic of calculus.

Given Information:

  1. f(x)f(x)f(x) is a non-constant, twice differentiable function on (−∞,∞)(-\infty, \infty)(−∞,∞).
  2. f(x)=f(1−x)f(x) = f(1-x)f(x)=f(1−x) for all xxx. This implies the function is symmetric about the line x=1/2x = 1/2x=1/2.
  3. f′(1/4)=0f'(1/4) = 0f′(1/4)=0.

Let's analyze the properties of f(x)f(x)f(x) and then evaluate each option.

Analysis of f(x)=f(1−x)f(x) = f(1-x)f(x)=f(1−x)

Differentiating the given equation with respect to xxx, we get: f′(x)=f′(1−x)⋅ddx(1−x)f'(x) = f'(1-x) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(1-x)f′(x)=f′(1−x)⋅dxd​(1−x) f′(x)=−f′(1−x)(∗)f'(x) = -f'(1-x) \quad (*)f′(x)=−f′(1−x)(∗) Differentiating again with respect to xxx: f′′(x)=−f′′(1−x)⋅(−1)f''(x) = -f''(1-x) \cdot (-1)f′′(x)=−f′′(1−x)⋅(−1) f′′(x)=f′′(1−x)(∗∗)f''(x) = f''(1-x) \quad (**)f′′(x)=f′′(1−x)(∗∗) This shows that f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) is anti-symmetric about x=1/2x=1/2x=1/2, and f′′(x)f''(x)f′′(x) is symmetric about x=1/2x=1/2x=1/2.


Evaluation of Option B: f′(12)=0f'\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right) = 0f′(21​)=0

  1. Using the relation f′(x)=−f′(1−x)f'(x) = -f'(1-x)f′(x)=−f′(1−x) from equation (∗)(*)(∗).
  2. Substitute x=1/2x = 1/2x=1/2 into the equation: f′(1/2)=−f′(1−1/2)f'(1/2) = -f'(1 - 1/2)f′(1/2)=−f′(1−1/2) f′(1/2)=−f′(1/2)f'(1/2) = -f'(1/2)f′(1/2)=−f′(1/2)
  3. Rearranging the terms, we get: 2f′(1/2)=02f'(1/2) = 02f′(1/2)=0 f′(1/2)=0f'(1/2) = 0f′(1/2)=0

Conclusion: Option B is correct.


Evaluation of Option A: f′′(x)f''\left( x \right)f′′(x) vanishes at least twice on [0,1]\left[ {0,1} \right][0,1]

  1. We are given that f′(1/4)=0f'(1/4) = 0f′(1/4)=0.
  2. From equation (∗)(*)(∗), let's find the value of f′(3/4)f'(3/4)f′(3/4): f′(3/4)=−f′(1−3/4)=−f′(1/4)f'(3/4) = -f'(1 - 3/4) = -f'(1/4)f′(3/4)=−f′(1−3/4)=−f′(1/4).
  3. Since f′(1/4)=0f'(1/4) = 0f′(1/4)=0, it follows that f′(3/4)=0f'(3/4) = 0f′(3/4)=0.
  4. We have now established three points where the first derivative is zero: x=1/4x = 1/4x=1/4, x=1/2x = 1/2x=1/2 (from option B), and x=3/4x = 3/4x=3/4. All these points lie in the interval [0,1][0, 1][0,1].
  5. Consider the function g(x)=f′(x)g(x) = f'(x)g(x)=f′(x). Since f(x)f(x)f(x) is twice differentiable, f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) is continuous and differentiable everywhere.
  6. Apply Rolle's Theorem to f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) on the interval [1/4,1/2][1/4, 1/2][1/4,1/2]:
    • f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) is continuous on [1/4,1/2][1/4, 1/2][1/4,1/2].
    • f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) is differentiable on (1/4,1/2)(1/4, 1/2)(1/4,1/2).
    • f′(1/4)=f′(1/2)=0f'(1/4) = f'(1/2) = 0f′(1/4)=f′(1/2)=0. Therefore, there exists at least one point c1∈(1/4,1/2)c_1 \in (1/4, 1/2)c1​∈(1/4,1/2) such that f′′(c1)=0f''(c_1) = 0f′′(c1​)=0.
  7. Apply Rolle's Theorem to f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) on the interval [1/2,3/4][1/2, 3/4][1/2,3/4]:
    • f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) is continuous on [1/2,3/4][1/2, 3/4][1/2,3/4].
    • f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) is differentiable on (1/2,3/4)(1/2, 3/4)(1/2,3/4).
    • f′(1/2)=f′(3/4)=0f'(1/2) = f'(3/4) = 0f′(1/2)=f′(3/4)=0. Therefore, there exists at least one point c2∈(1/2,3/4)c_2 \in (1/2, 3/4)c2​∈(1/2,3/4) such that f′′(c2)=0f''(c_2) = 0f′′(c2​)=0.
  8. Since c1<1/2c_1 < 1/2c1​<1/2 and c2>1/2c_2 > 1/2c2​>1/2, the points c1c_1c1​ and c2c_2c2​ are distinct. Both points lie within the interval [0,1][0, 1][0,1].

Conclusion: Option A is correct.


Evaluation of Option C: ∫−1/21/2f(x+12)sin⁡x dx=0\int\limits_{ - 1/2}^{1/2} {f\left( {x + {1 \over 2}} \right)\sin x\,dx} = 0−1/2∫1/2​f(x+21​)sinxdx=0

  1. Let the integral be I=∫−1/21/2f(x+1/2)sin⁡x dxI = \int_{-1/2}^{1/2} f(x + 1/2) \sin x \,dxI=∫−1/21/2​f(x+1/2)sinxdx.
  2. We check if the integrand, g(x)=f(x+1/2)sin⁡xg(x) = f(x + 1/2) \sin xg(x)=f(x+1/2)sinx, is an odd function. An integral of an odd function over a symmetric interval [−a,a][-a, a][−a,a] is zero.
  3. Evaluate g(−x)g(-x)g(−x): g(−x)=f(−x+1/2)sin⁡(−x)=f(1/2−x)(−sin⁡x)=−f(1/2−x)sin⁡xg(-x) = f(-x + 1/2) \sin(-x) = f(1/2 - x) (-\sin x) = -f(1/2 - x) \sin xg(−x)=f(−x+1/2)sin(−x)=f(1/2−x)(−sinx)=−f(1/2−x)sinx.
  4. The given property f(t)=f(1−t)f(t) = f(1-t)f(t)=f(1−t) implies symmetry about t=1/2t=1/2t=1/2. Let's set t=1/2+xt = 1/2 + xt=1/2+x. Then 1−t=1−(1/2+x)=1/2−x1-t = 1 - (1/2 + x) = 1/2 - x1−t=1−(1/2+x)=1/2−x. So, f(1/2+x)=f(1/2−x)f(1/2 + x) = f(1/2 - x)f(1/2+x)=f(1/2−x).
  5. Substitute this back into the expression for g(−x)g(-x)g(−x): g(−x)=−f(1/2+x)sin⁡x=−g(x)g(-x) = -f(1/2 + x) \sin x = -g(x)g(−x)=−f(1/2+x)sinx=−g(x).
  6. Since g(x)g(x)g(x) is an odd function, its integral over the symmetric interval [−1/2,1/2][-1/2, 1/2][−1/2,1/2] is zero.

Conclusion: Option C is correct.


Evaluation of Option D: ∫01/2f(t)esin⁡ πtdt=∫1/21f(1−t)esin⁡ πtdt\int\limits_0^{1/2} {f\left( t \right){e^{\sin \,\pi t}}dt = } \int\limits_{1/2}^1 {f\left( {1 - t} \right){e^{\sin \,\pi t}}dt}0∫1/2​f(t)esinπtdt=1/2∫1​f(1−t)esinπtdt

  1. Let's analyze the right-hand side (RHS) of the equation: RHS=∫1/21f(1−t)esin⁡(πt)dtRHS = \int_{1/2}^1 f(1-t) e^{\sin(\pi t)} dtRHS=∫1/21​f(1−t)esin(πt)dt.
  2. We use a substitution. Let u=1−tu = 1-tu=1−t. Then t=1−ut = 1-ut=1−u and dt=−dudt = -dudt=−du.
  3. We also need to change the limits of integration:
    • When t=1/2t = 1/2t=1/2, u=1−1/2=1/2u = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2u=1−1/2=1/2.
    • When t=1t = 1t=1, u=1−1=0u = 1 - 1 = 0u=1−1=0.
  4. Substituting these into the RHS integral: RHS=∫1/20f(u)esin⁡(π(1−u))(−du)=∫01/2f(u)esin⁡(π−πu)duRHS = \int_{1/2}^{0} f(u) e^{\sin(\pi(1-u))} (-du) = \int_{0}^{1/2} f(u) e^{\sin(\pi - \pi u)} duRHS=∫1/20​f(u)esin(π(1−u))(−du)=∫01/2​f(u)esin(π−πu)du.
  5. Using the trigonometric identity sin⁡(π−θ)=sin⁡(θ)\sin(\pi - \theta) = \sin(\theta)sin(π−θ)=sin(θ), we get: RHS=∫01/2f(u)esin⁡(πu)duRHS = \int_{0}^{1/2} f(u) e^{\sin(\pi u)} duRHS=∫01/2​f(u)esin(πu)du.
  6. This expression is identical to the left-hand side (LHS), with the variable of integration being uuu instead of ttt. The name of the integration variable does not affect the value of the definite integral. RHS=∫01/2f(t)esin⁡(πt)dt=LHSRHS = \int_{0}^{1/2} f(t) e^{\sin(\pi t)} dt = LHSRHS=∫01/2​f(t)esin(πt)dt=LHS.
  7. The equality holds. Note that this derivation is valid for any integrable function fff and does not depend on the specific properties of fff given in the problem, such as f(x)=f(1−x)f(x)=f(1-x)f(x)=f(1−x). It is a mathematical identity.

Conclusion: Option D is correct.


Final Summary

Based on the step-by-step analysis, all four options A, B, C, and D are correct statements derived from the given information or are general mathematical identities. The question asks for which statements follow from the premises. All four statements are true.

  • A: Correct, by applying Rolle's theorem on f′(x)f'(x)f′(x).
  • B: Correct, a direct consequence of f′(x)=−f′(1−x)f'(x)=-f'(1-x)f′(x)=−f′(1−x).
  • C: Correct, based on the integrand being an odd function.
  • D: Correct, as it is a mathematical identity proven by substitution.

Therefore, the correct answer should include all four options. The stored answer is {A, B, C}, which is incomplete.
