Let \(f(x)\) be differentiable on \([1,6]\) and \(f(1)=-2\). If \(f(x)\) has only one root in \((1,6)\) then there exists \(\mathcal{C} \in(1,6)\) such that

  1. A \(f^{\prime}(c)=\frac{1}{10}\)
  2. B \(f^{\prime}(\mathrm{c}) < \frac{2}{5}\)
  3. C \(f^{\prime}(\mathrm{C}) < \frac{1}{5}\)
  4. D \(f^{\prime}(\mathrm{c})>\frac{2}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(f^{\prime}(\mathrm{c})>\frac{2}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x)\) is differentiable on \([1,6]\) \[ f(1)=-2 \] \(f(x)\) has only are roots in \((1,6)\) \[ \because \] \(f(1) f(6) 0\) By L.M.V.T. \(\quad f^{\prime}(c)=\frac{f(6)-f(1)}{6-1} \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(c)=\frac{f(6)+2}{5}\)…
