Correct answer: A, B, D

Analysis of the given information

We are given a twice differentiable function f:R→[−2,2]f: \mathbb{R} \to [-2, 2]f:R→[−2,2] such that (f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85{(f(0))^2} + {(f'(0))^2} = 85(f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85.

  1. Boundedness of f: The range of fff is a subset of [−2,2][-2, 2][−2,2], which means ∣f(x)∣≤2|f(x)| \le 2∣f(x)∣≤2 for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R}x∈R.
  2. Information at x=0: We have (f(0))2≤22=4(f(0))^2 \le 2^2 = 4(f(0))2≤22=4. Substituting this into the given equation: 4≥(f(0))2=85−(f′(0))24 \ge (f(0))^2 = 85 - (f'(0))^24≥(f(0))2=85−(f′(0))2 This implies (f′(0))2≥85−4=81(f'(0))^2 \ge 85 - 4 = 81(f′(0))2≥85−4=81. Taking the square root, we get ∣f′(0)∣≥9|f'(0)| \ge 9∣f′(0)∣≥9.
  3. Differentiability: The function fff is twice differentiable on R\mathbb{R}R. This implies that both f(x)f(x)f(x) and f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) are continuous functions.

Now, let's evaluate each statement.

Option A: There exist r, s ∈\in∈ R, where r < s, such that f is one-one on the open interval (r, s)

  1. We know that ∣f′(0)∣≥9|f'(0)| \ge 9∣f′(0)∣≥9, which means f′(0)≠0f'(0) \neq 0f′(0)=0. Let's assume f′(0)>0f'(0) > 0f′(0)>0 (the case f′(0)<0f'(0) < 0f′(0)<0 is analogous).
  2. Since fff is twice differentiable, its first derivative f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) is a continuous function.
  3. By the property of continuous functions, if f′(0)>0f'(0) > 0f′(0)>0, then there exists an open interval around 0, say (r,s)(r, s)(r,s), where f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) maintains the same sign. Specifically, there exists a δ>0\delta > 0δ>0 such that for all x∈(−δ,δ)x \in (-\delta, \delta)x∈(−δ,δ), f′(x)>0f'(x) > 0f′(x)>0.
  4. A function with a strictly positive derivative on an open interval is strictly increasing on that interval.
  5. A strictly increasing function is one-to-one (one-one).
  6. Therefore, there exists an interval (r,s)=(−δ,δ)(r, s) = (-\delta, \delta)(r,s)=(−δ,δ) on which fff is one-one.

Conclusion: Statement A is TRUE.

Option B: There exists x0 ∈\in∈ (−-− 4, 0) such that |f'(x0)| ≤\le≤ 1

  1. We can apply the Mean Value Theorem (MVT) to the function f(x)f(x)f(x) on the interval [−4,0][-4, 0][−4,0]. Since fff is differentiable on R\mathbb{R}R, it is continuous on [−4,0][-4, 0][−4,0] and differentiable on (−4,0)(-4, 0)(−4,0).
  2. According to MVT, there exists a point x0∈(−4,0)x_0 \in (-4, 0)x0​∈(−4,0) such that: f′(x0)=f(0)−f(−4)0−(−4)=f(0)−f(−4)4f'(x_0) = \frac{f(0) - f(-4)}{0 - (-4)} = \frac{f(0) - f(-4)}{4}f′(x0​)=0−(−4)f(0)−f(−4)​=4f(0)−f(−4)​
  3. We know that ∣f(x)∣≤2|f(x)| \le 2∣f(x)∣≤2 for all xxx. Therefore, −2≤f(0)≤2-2 \le f(0) \le 2−2≤f(0)≤2 and −2≤f(−4)≤2-2 \le f(-4) \le 2−2≤f(−4)≤2.
  4. The maximum value of the difference f(0)−f(−4)f(0) - f(-4)f(0)−f(−4) is 2−(−2)=42 - (-2) = 42−(−2)=4, and the minimum value is −2−2=−4-2 - 2 = -4−2−2=−4. So, ∣f(0)−f(−4)∣≤4|f(0) - f(-4)| \le 4∣f(0)−f(−4)∣≤4.
  5. Taking the absolute value of the expression for f′(x0)f'(x_0)f′(x0​): ∣f′(x0)∣=∣f(0)−f(−4)4∣=∣f(0)−f(−4)∣4|f'(x_0)| = \left| \frac{f(0) - f(-4)}{4} \right| = \frac{|f(0) - f(-4)|}{4}∣f′(x0​)∣=​4f(0)−f(−4)​​=4∣f(0)−f(−4)∣​
  6. Using the bound from step 4: ∣f′(x0)∣≤44=1|f'(x_0)| \le \frac{4}{4} = 1∣f′(x0​)∣≤44​=1
  7. Thus, there exists an x0∈(−4,0)x_0 \in (-4, 0)x0​∈(−4,0) such that ∣f′(x0)∣≤1|f'(x_0)| \le 1∣f′(x0​)∣≤1.

Conclusion: Statement B is TRUE.

Option C: lim⁡x→∞f(x)=1\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } f(x) = 1x→∞lim​f(x)=1

  1. This statement claims that the limit must be 1. Let's test this by trying to find a counterexample that satisfies the given conditions but does not have this limit.
  2. Consider a function of the form f(x)=Acos⁡(ωx)+Bsin⁡(ωx)f(x) = A\cos(\omega x) + B\sin(\omega x)f(x)=Acos(ωx)+Bsin(ωx). The range of this function is [−A2+B2,A2+B2][-\sqrt{A^2+B^2}, \sqrt{A^2+B^2}][−A2+B2​,A2+B2​]. To satisfy ∣f(x)∣≤2|f(x)| \le 2∣f(x)∣≤2, we need A2+B2≤2\sqrt{A^2+B^2} \le 2A2+B2​≤2.
  3. Let's choose A=1,B=1A=1, B=1A=1,B=1. Then 12+12=2≤2\sqrt{1^2+1^2} = \sqrt{2} \le 212+12​=2​≤2. So, f(x)=cos⁡(ωx)+sin⁡(ωx)f(x) = \cos(\omega x) + \sin(\omega x)f(x)=cos(ωx)+sin(ωx) is a candidate.
  4. Let's check the condition at x=0x=0x=0. f(0)=cos⁡(0)+sin⁡(0)=1f(0) = \cos(0) + \sin(0) = 1f(0)=cos(0)+sin(0)=1. f′(x)=−ωsin⁡(ωx)+ωcos⁡(ωx)f'(x) = -\omega\sin(\omega x) + \omega\cos(\omega x)f′(x)=−ωsin(ωx)+ωcos(ωx), so f′(0)=ωf'(0) = \omegaf′(0)=ω.
  5. The condition is (f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85(f(0))^2 + (f'(0))^2 = 85(f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85. 12+ω2=85  ⟹  ω2=84  ⟹  ω=841^2 + \omega^2 = 85 \implies \omega^2 = 84 \implies \omega = \sqrt{84}12+ω2=85⟹ω2=84⟹ω=84​.
  6. So, the function f(x)=cos⁡(84x)+sin⁡(84x)f(x) = \cos(\sqrt{84}x) + \sin(\sqrt{84}x)f(x)=cos(84​x)+sin(84​x) satisfies all the given conditions: it's twice differentiable, its range is [−2,2]⊆[−2,2][-\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{2}] \subseteq [-2, 2][−2​,2​]⊆[−2,2], and (f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85(f(0))^2+(f'(0))^2=85(f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85.
  7. Now let's evaluate the limit: lim⁡x→∞f(x)=lim⁡x→∞(cos⁡(84x)+sin⁡(84x))\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = \lim_{x \to \infty} (\cos(\sqrt{84}x) + \sin(\sqrt{84}x))limx→∞​f(x)=limx→∞​(cos(84​x)+sin(84​x)). This limit does not exist because the function oscillates indefinitely.
  8. Since we found a valid function for which the limit is not 1 (in fact, it doesn't exist), the statement is not always true.

Conclusion: Statement C is FALSE.

Option D: There exists α∈\alpha \inα∈(−-− 4, 4) such that f(α\alphaα) + f"(α\alphaα) = 0 and f'(α\alphaα) ≠\neq= 0

  1. Let's define an auxiliary function g(x)=(f(x))2+(f′(x))2g(x) = (f(x))^2 + (f'(x))^2g(x)=(f(x))2+(f′(x))2. Since fff is twice differentiable, ggg is differentiable.
  2. The derivative of g(x)g(x)g(x) is: g′(x)=2f(x)f′(x)+2f′(x)f′′(x)=2f′(x)(f(x)+f′′(x))g'(x) = 2f(x)f'(x) + 2f'(x)f''(x) = 2f'(x)(f(x) + f''(x))g′(x)=2f(x)f′(x)+2f′(x)f′′(x)=2f′(x)(f(x)+f′′(x)).
  3. The problem asks to show that there's an α∈(−4,4)\alpha \in (-4, 4)α∈(−4,4) where f(α)+f′′(α)=0f(\alpha) + f''(\alpha) = 0f(α)+f′′(α)=0 and f′(α)≠0f'(\alpha) \neq 0f′(α)=0. This is equivalent to finding an α\alphaα such that g′(α)=0g'(\alpha) = 0g′(α)=0 and f′(α)≠0f'(\alpha) \neq 0f′(α)=0.
  4. From the given information, g(0)=(f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85g(0) = (f(0))^2 + (f'(0))^2 = 85g(0)=(f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85.
  5. From the analysis for Option B, we know there exists x0∈(−4,0)x_0 \in (-4, 0)x0​∈(−4,0) such that ∣f′(x0)∣≤1|f'(x_0)| \le 1∣f′(x0​)∣≤1. At this point, g(x0)=(f(x0))2+(f′(x0))2≤22+12=5g(x_0) = (f(x_0))^2 + (f'(x_0))^2 \le 2^2 + 1^2 = 5g(x0​)=(f(x0​))2+(f′(x0​))2≤22+12=5.
  6. Similarly, applying MVT to f(x)f(x)f(x) on [0,4][0, 4][0,4], there exists x1∈(0,4)x_1 \in (0, 4)x1​∈(0,4) such that ∣f′(x1)∣≤1|f'(x_1)| \le 1∣f′(x1​)∣≤1. At this point, g(x1)=(f(x1))2+(f′(x1))2≤22+12=5g(x_1) = (f(x_1))^2 + (f'(x_1))^2 \le 2^2 + 1^2 = 5g(x1​)=(f(x1​))2+(f′(x1​))2≤22+12=5.
  7. Consider the function g(x)g(x)g(x) on the closed interval [x0,x1][x_0, x_1][x0​,x1​]. Since g(x)g(x)g(x) is continuous on this interval, by the Extreme Value Theorem, it must attain a maximum value on [x0,x1][x_0, x_1][x0​,x1​].
  8. We have g(x0)≤5g(x_0) \le 5g(x0​)≤5 and g(x1)≤5g(x_1) \le 5g(x1​)≤5. However, 0∈(x0,x1)0 \in (x_0, x_1)0∈(x0​,x1​) and g(0)=85g(0) = 85g(0)=85. This means the maximum value of g(x)g(x)g(x) on [x0,x1][x_0, x_1][x0​,x1​] is at least 85, and it cannot occur at the endpoints x0x_0x0​ or x1x_1x1​.
  9. Therefore, the maximum must occur at an interior point, say α∈(x0,x1)\alpha \in (x_0, x_1)α∈(x0​,x1​). Since (x0,x1)⊂(−4,4)(x_0, x_1) \subset (-4, 4)(x0​,x1​)⊂(−4,4), we have α∈(−4,4)\alpha \in (-4, 4)α∈(−4,4).
  10. By Fermat's Theorem, since α\alphaα is an interior maximum, we must have g′(α)=0g'(\alpha) = 0g′(α)=0.
  11. From g′(α)=2f′(α)(f(α)+f′′(α))=0g'(\alpha) = 2f'(\alpha)(f(\alpha) + f''(\alpha)) = 0g′(α)=2f′(α)(f(α)+f′′(α))=0, we conclude that either f′(α)=0f'(\alpha) = 0f′(α)=0 or f(α)+f′′(α)=0f(\alpha) + f''(\alpha) = 0f(α)+f′′(α)=0.
  12. Let's test the possibility that f′(α)=0f'(\alpha) = 0f′(α)=0. If f′(α)=0f'(\alpha) = 0f′(α)=0, then g(α)=(f(α))2+(f′(α))2=(f(α))2g(\alpha) = (f(\alpha))^2 + (f'(\alpha))^2 = (f(\alpha))^2g(α)=(f(α))2+(f′(α))2=(f(α))2. Since ∣f(x)∣≤2|f(x)| \le 2∣f(x)∣≤2, we have (f(α))2≤4(f(\alpha))^2 \le 4(f(α))2≤4. So, g(α)≤4g(\alpha) \le 4g(α)≤4.
  13. But we know that g(α)g(\alpha)g(α) is the maximum value on [x0,x1][x_0, x_1][x0​,x1​], so g(α)≥g(0)=85g(\alpha) \ge g(0) = 85g(α)≥g(0)=85. This leads to the contradiction 85≤485 \le 485≤4.
  14. Therefore, our assumption that f′(α)=0f'(\alpha) = 0f′(α)=0 must be false. So, f′(α)≠0f'(\alpha) \neq 0f′(α)=0.
  15. Since g′(α)=0g'(\alpha) = 0g′(α)=0 and f′(α)≠0f'(\alpha) \neq 0f′(α)=0, it must be that the other factor is zero: f(α)+f′′(α)=0f(\alpha) + f''(\alpha) = 0f(α)+f′′(α)=0.
  16. We have found a point α∈(−4,4)\alpha \in (-4, 4)α∈(−4,4) satisfying both conditions.

Conclusion: Statement D is TRUE.
