MCQ
Let $f(x)$ be a function continuous on $[1,2]$ and differentiable on $(1,2)$ satisfying
$f(1) = 2, f(2) = 3$ and $f'(x) \geq 1 \forall x \in (1,2)$.Define $g(x)=\int\limits_1^x {f(t)\,dt\,\forall \,x\, \in [1,2]} $ then the greatest value of $g(x)$ on $[1,2]$ is-
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $5$
  • $\frac{5}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{5}{2}$
c
Using $LMVT$ on $f(\mathrm{x})$ for intervals $[1, \mathrm{x}]$ and $[\mathrm{x}, 2]$

$\frac{f(\mathrm{x})-f(1)}{\mathrm{x}-1}=f^{\prime}\left(\mathrm{c}_{1}\right) \Rightarrow \frac{f(\mathrm{x})-2}{\mathrm{x}-1} \geq 1$

$\Rightarrow f(\mathrm{x}) \geq \mathrm{x}+1$

and $\frac{f(2)-f(x)}{2-x}=f^{\prime}\left(c_{2}\right) \Rightarrow \frac{3-f(x)}{2-x} \geq 1$

$\Rightarrow f(\mathrm{x}) \leq \mathrm{x}+1$

$\therefore f(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}+1$

$\therefore$ greatest value of $\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{g}(2)$

$ = \int\limits_1^2 {(x + 1)} dx = \frac{5}{2}$

Let $I$ be the purchase value of an equipment and $V(t)$ be the value after it has been used for $ t $ years. The value $V(t)$ depreciates at a rate given by differential equation $\frac{{dV\left( t \right)}}{{dt}} = - k\left( {T - t} \right)$ where $k > 0$ is a constant and $T$ is the total life in years of the equipement.
