Indefinite Integration 1 Question 44

45. If $f^{\prime \prime}(x)<0, \forall x \in(a, b)$, and $(c, f(c))$ is point of maxima, where $c \in(a, b)$, then $f^{\prime}(c)$ is

(a) $\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

(b) $3 \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

(c) $2 \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

(d) 0

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. $F^{\prime}(c)=(b-a) f^{\prime}(c)+f(a)-f(b)$

$$ \begin{aligned} F^{\prime \prime}(c) & =f^{\prime \prime}(c)(b-a)<0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad F^{\prime}(c) & =0 \Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} \end{aligned} $$
