Ans. (a) : Let g(x) = e–x f(x) (a) y + 1 = e ( ) + f ( x )
f x
∴ g'(x) = e–x f'(x) – e–xf(x)

f ( x)
= e–x (f'(x) – f(x)) (b) y − 1 = e + f (x)
Since, f'(x) > f(x) −f (x )
(c) y + 1 = e + f (x)
So, f'(x) – f(x) > 0
∴ e–x (f'(x) – f(x)) > 0 (d) y − 1 = e

∴ g(x) is an increasing function.

Now, g(x) > g(0) ∀ x > 0
e–x f'(x) > e0 f(0) > 0 y' + yf' (x) –f(x)f'(x) = 0
e–x f'(x) > 0 y' + yf'(x) = f(x) f'(x)

The value of f (8) is :

∴ | x 2 − 3x + 2 |=| (x − 1)(x − 2) |

Kerala CEE-2006 Hence, it is not differentiable at x = 1 and 2
Ans. (b) : Here, it is given that Now, f (x) = ( x 2 − 1) | x 2 − 3x + 2 | + cos | x | is not
h(x) = [f (x)]2 + [g(x)]2 differentiable at x = 2
And, h'(x) = 2 f (x) f' (x) + 2g(x) g' (x)
Now, f' (x) = g(x) and f'' (x) = – f(x) For 1 < x < 2, f (x) = −(x 2 − 1)(x 2 − 3x + 2) + cos x
f'' (x) = g' (x) and f'' (x) = –f (x) For 2 < x < 3, f (x) = ( x 2 − 1) (x 2 − 3x + 2) + cos x
–f (x) = g' (x)
Thus, f' (x) = g (x) and g' (x) = – f (x) L f '(x) = −(x 2 − 1) (2x − 3) − 2x(x 2 − 3x + 2) − sin x
∴ h' (x) = – 2g (x) g' (x) + 2g (x) g' (x) Lf ' (2) = –3– sin2
= O∀ x Rf '(x) = (x2 –1) (2x –3) +2x(x2–3x+2) – sin x
h (x) = constant for all x R f '(2) = (4 – 1) (4 –3) + 0 – sin 2 = 3 – sin 2
But h (5) = 11 hence, Lf ' (2) ≠ R f ' (2)
Hence, h (x) = 11 for all x. So, f(x) is not differentiable at x = 2

For x = 0, we have f(x) = 0 Lagrange’s mean value theorem states that, if a
1 , x ≠ 0 function g is continuous on [a, b] then there a, c value
Thus, we have f(x) =  f (b) − f (a )

Let, f (x) = e x −1 + x − 2 = 3c 2 − 4c + 1

Check for x = 1 3c2 – 4c + 1 = 1
Then, f(1) = e0 + 1 – 2 = 0 3c2 – 4c = 0
So, x = 1 is a real root of the equation f(x) = 0 3c2 = 4c
Let x = α be the other root such that α > 1 or α < 1. 3c = 4
Consider the interval [1, α] or [α, 1]. So, c =
