JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 6. Application of derivatives

Let \(f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be a differentiable function such that \(f\left(\dfrac{x+y}{3}\right) = \dfrac{f(x) + f(y)}{3}\) for all \(x, y \in \mathbb{R}\), and \(f'(0) = 3\). Then the minimum value of the function \(g(x) = 3 + e^x f(x)\), is:

  1. A \(3\left(\dfrac{e+1}{e}\right)\)
  2. B \(3\left(\dfrac{e-1}{e}\right)\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{3-e}{e}\)
  4. D \(3e\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\left(\dfrac{e-1}{e}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(f\left(\dfrac{x+y}{3}\right) = \dfrac{f(x) + f(y)}{3}\) Substituting \(x = 0\) and \(y = 0\), we get: \(f(0) = \dfrac{2f(0)}{3} \Rightarrow f(0) = 0\) Differentiating the given equation partially with respect to \(x\), treating \(y\) as a constant:…
