Analysis of the given information
We are given a twice differentiable function such that .
- Boundedness of f: The range of is a subset of , which means for all .
- Information at x=0: We have . Substituting this into the given equation: This implies . Taking the square root, we get .
- Differentiability: The function is twice differentiable on . This implies that both and are continuous functions.
Now, let's evaluate each statement.
Option A: There exist r, s R, where r < s, such that f is one-one on the open interval (r, s)
- We know that , which means . Let's assume (the case is analogous).
- Since is twice differentiable, its first derivative is a continuous function.
- By the property of continuous functions, if , then there exists an open interval around 0, say , where maintains the same sign. Specifically, there exists a such that for all , .
- A function with a strictly positive derivative on an open interval is strictly increasing on that interval.
- A strictly increasing function is one-to-one (one-one).
- Therefore, there exists an interval on which is one-one.
Conclusion: Statement A is TRUE.
Option B: There exists x0 ( 4, 0) such that |f'(x0)| 1
- We can apply the Mean Value Theorem (MVT) to the function on the interval . Since is differentiable on , it is continuous on and differentiable on .
- According to MVT, there exists a point such that:
- We know that for all . Therefore, and .
- The maximum value of the difference is , and the minimum value is . So, .
- Taking the absolute value of the expression for :
- Using the bound from step 4:
- Thus, there exists an such that .
Conclusion: Statement B is TRUE.
Option C:
- 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.
- Consider a function of the form . The range of this function is . To satisfy , we need .
- Let's choose . Then . So, is a candidate.
- Let's check the condition at . . , so .
- The condition is . .
- So, the function satisfies all the given conditions: it's twice differentiable, its range is , and .
- Now let's evaluate the limit: . This limit does not exist because the function oscillates indefinitely.
- 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 ( 4, 4) such that f() + f"() = 0 and f'() 0
- Let's define an auxiliary function . Since is twice differentiable, is differentiable.
- The derivative of is: .
- The problem asks to show that there's an where and . This is equivalent to finding an such that and .
- From the given information, .
- From the analysis for Option B, we know there exists such that . At this point, .
- Similarly, applying MVT to on , there exists such that . At this point, .
- Consider the function on the closed interval . Since is continuous on this interval, by the Extreme Value Theorem, it must attain a maximum value on .
- We have and . However, and . This means the maximum value of on is at least 85, and it cannot occur at the endpoints or .
- Therefore, the maximum must occur at an interior point, say . Since , we have .
- By Fermat's Theorem, since is an interior maximum, we must have .
- From , we conclude that either or .
- Let's test the possibility that . If , then . Since , we have . So, .
- But we know that is the maximum value on , so . This leads to the contradiction .
- Therefore, our assumption that must be false. So, .
- Since and , it must be that the other factor is zero: .
- We have found a point satisfying both conditions.
Conclusion: Statement D is TRUE.
Final Summary
- Statement A is TRUE.
- Statement B is TRUE.
- Statement C is FALSE.
- Statement D is TRUE.
The correct statements are A, B, and D.
