JEE Main 2020Application Of Derivatives Question with Solution

From: JEE Main 2020 (Online) 7th January Evening Slot

Question

The value of c in the Lagrange's mean value theorem for the function
ƒ(x) = x3 - 4x2 + 8x + 11, when x [0, 1] is:

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Correct answer
D

Step-by-step explanation

ƒ(x) = x3 - 4x2 + 8x + 11

f(0) = 11

f(1) = 16

Using LMVT

f'(c) =

3c2 – 8c + 8 =

3c2 – 8c + 3 = 0

c =

c = as c [0, 1]
