Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) -2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(f(x)=x(x+3) e^{-\frac{x}{2}},[-3,0]\) \(\because f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{d}{d x}\left(\left(x^2+3 x\right) e^{\frac{-x}{2}}\right)=\frac{1}{2}\left(-x^2+x+6\right) e^{\frac{-x}{2}}\) Since, \(f(x)\) is satisfy Rolle's theorem so, \(c \in[-3,0]\) such that…
