Let \(f(x)\) be continuous on \([0,5]\) and differentiable in \((0,5)\). If \(f(0)=0\) and \(\left|f^{\prime}(x)\right| \leq \frac{1}{5}\) for all \(x\) in \((0,5)\), then \(\forall x\) in \([0,5]\).

  1. A \(|f(x)| \leq 1\)
  2. B \(|f(x)| \leq \frac{1}{5}\)
  3. C \(f(x)=\frac{x}{5}\)
  4. D \(|f(x)| \geq 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(|f(x)| \leq 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left|f^{\prime}(x)\right| \leq \frac{1}{5}, \Rightarrow\left|\frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0}\right| \leq \frac{1}{5}\)…
