Limits Continuity And Differentiability Question 110

Question: Suppose that $ f(0)=-3 $ and $ f’(x)=\le 5 $ for all values of x. Then, the largest value which f(2) can attain is????

Options:

A) 7

B) 10

C) 2

D) 9

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Using LMVT in [0, 2] $ \frac{f(2)-f(0)}{2-0}=f’(c) $ , where $ c\in (0,2) $

$ \frac{f(2)+3}{2}\le 5\Rightarrow f(2)\le 7 $ .
