Applications Of Derivatives Question 382

Question: For which interval, the function $ \frac{x^{2}-3x}{x-1} $ satisfies all the conditions of Rolle’s theorem

[MP PET 1993]

Options:

A) [0, 3]

B) [- 3, 0]

C) [1.5, 3]

D) For no interval

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Here $ f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-3x}{x-1} $

therefore $ -\sin c=-\frac{2}{\pi }\Rightarrow c={{\sin }^{-1}}( \frac{2}{\pi } ) $

Obviously, it is not derivable at $ x=1 $ i.e., in $ (0,3) $ Also $ f(a)=f(b) $ does not hold for $ [-3,,0] $ and [1. 5, 3]

Hence the answer is .
