Correct answer: B

  1. Given data

We have a twice differentiable function fff on (1,6)(1,6)(1,6) such that:

f(2)=8,f′(2)=5,f′(x)≥1,f′′(x)≥4 for all x∈(1,6).f(2)=8, \quad f'(2)=5, \quad f'(x)\ge 1, \quad f''(x)\ge 4 \text{ for all } x\in(1,6).f(2)=8,f′(2)=5,f′(x)≥1,f′′(x)≥4 for all x∈(1,6).

We must test the options.


  1. Use the condition on f′′(x)f''(x)f′′(x)

Since

f′′(x)≥4,f''(x)\ge 4,f′′(x)≥4,

integrate from 222 to xxx:

f′(x)−f′(2)=∫2xf′′(t) dt≥∫2x4 dt=4(x−2).f'(x)-f'(2)=\int_2^x f''(t)\,dt \ge \int_2^x 4\,dt = 4(x-2).f′(x)−f′(2)=∫2x​f′′(t)dt≥∫2x​4dt=4(x−2).

Using f′(2)=5f'(2)=5f′(2)=5,

f′(x)≥5+4(x−2)=4x−3.f'(x)\ge 5+4(x-2)=4x-3.f′(x)≥5+4(x−2)=4x−3.

In particular, at x=5x=5x=5,

f′(5)≥4(5)−3=17.f'(5)\ge 4(5)-3=17.f′(5)≥4(5)−3=17.


  1. Now estimate f(5)f(5)f(5)

Using

f(5)−f(2)=∫25f′(x) dx,f(5)-f(2)=\int_2^5 f'(x)\,dx,f(5)−f(2)=∫25​f′(x)dx,

and the bound f′(x)≥4x−3f'(x)\ge 4x-3f′(x)≥4x−3,

f(5)−8≥∫25(4x−3) dx.f(5)-8 \ge \int_2^5 (4x-3)\,dx.f(5)−8≥∫25​(4x−3)dx.

Compute the integral:

∫(4x−3)dx=2x2−3x.\int (4x-3)dx = 2x^2-3x.∫(4x−3)dx=2x2−3x.

So,

∫25(4x−3)dx=(2⋅25−15)−(2⋅4−6)=35−2=33.\int_2^5 (4x-3)dx = (2\cdot 25-15)-(2\cdot 4-6)=35-2=33.∫25​(4x−3)dx=(2⋅25−15)−(2⋅4−6)=35−2=33.

Hence,

f(5)≥8+33=41.f(5)\ge 8+33=41.f(5)≥8+33=41.


  1. Check each option

Option A: f(5)≤10f(5)\le 10f(5)≤10

But we found

f(5)≥41,f(5)\ge 41,f(5)≥41,

so this is false.


Option B: f(5)+f′(5)≥28f(5)+f'(5)\ge 28f(5)+f′(5)≥28

We have

f(5)≥41,f′(5)≥17.f(5)\ge 41, \quad f'(5)\ge 17.f(5)≥41,f′(5)≥17.

Therefore,

f(5)+f′(5)≥41+17=58≥28.f(5)+f'(5)\ge 41+17=58\ge 28.f(5)+f′(5)≥41+17=58≥28.

So B is true.


Option C: f(5)+f′(5)≤26f(5)+f'(5)\le 26f(5)+f′(5)≤26

But

f(5)+f′(5)≥58,f(5)+f'(5)\ge 58,f(5)+f′(5)≥58,

so this is false.


Option D: f′(5)+f′′(5)≤20f'(5)+f''(5)\le 20f′(5)+f′′(5)≤20

We only know

f′(5)≥17,f′′(5)≥4,f'(5)\ge 17, \quad f''(5)\ge 4,f′(5)≥17,f′′(5)≥4,

hence

f′(5)+f′′(5)≥21.f'(5)+f''(5)\ge 21.f′(5)+f′′(5)≥21.

So it cannot be ≤20\le 20≤20. Thus D is false.


  1. Conclusion

The only correct option is:

B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
