\(f:[2,10] \rightarrow R\) is defined as \[ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} \frac{1}{2}(x-6)^2-3, & x \leq 4 \ x-5, & x>4 \end{array}\right. \] Which of the following is true?

  1. A \(f(2) \neq f(10)\)
  2. B \(f(x)\) is not continuous on \([2,10]\).
  3. C Rolle's theorem is not applicable for \(f(x)\) in \([2,10]\)
  4. D Rolle's theorem is applicable for \(f(x)\) in \([2,10]\) and Rolle's point \(c=6\).
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Rolle's theorem is not applicable for \(f(x)\) in \([2,10]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

It is obvious. \[ f(2)=\frac{1}{2}(2-6)^2-3=5 \text { and } f(10)=5 \] \(f(x)\) is continuous but not differentiable at \(x=4\). Hence Rolle's theorem is not applicable in \([2,10]\).
