Question: For the function $ f(x)=e^{x},a=0,b=1 $ , the value of c in mean value theorem will be

[DCE 2002]

Options:

A) log x

B) $ \log (e-1) $

C) 0

D) 1

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Here $ \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=f’(c) $

therefore $ \frac{e^{b}-e^{a}}{b-a}=f’(c) $

therefore $ \frac{e-1}{1-0}=e^{c}\Rightarrow c=\log (e-1) $ .
