Let \(f(x)\) be continuous on \([0,4]\), differentiable on \((0,4), f(0)=4\) and \(f(4)=-2\). If \(g(x)=\frac{f(x)}{x+2}\), then the value of \(g^{\prime}(c)\) for some Lagrange's constant \(c \in(0,4)\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{12}\)
  3. C \(-\frac{5}{12}\)
  4. D \(-\frac{7}{12}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{5}{12}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(f(x)\) be continuous on \([0,4]\), differentiable on \((0,4)\) \[ F(0)=4 \text { and } F(4)=-2 \quad g(x)=\frac{f(x)}{x+2} \] At \(x=0, g(0)=\frac{f(0)}{0+2}=\frac{4}{2}=2\) At \(x=4, g(4)=\frac{f(4)}{4+2}=\frac{-2}{6}=\frac{-1}{3}\) Now,…
