g(x)=0∫x f(t)dt ,g"(x) is continuous and differentiable.

a<c<b

g"(a)=0;g"(b)=0;g"(c)=0

Q1) ans is b

Q2)ans is c

for Q1 i dont think we can predict accurately.......but yes atleast one root of g"'(x) will be there becoz g"(a)=g"(b)=0[1]

yaar yeh to assan hai
g`(x)=f(x)
so take a new function g`(x) as h(x) and u have mentioned the conditions for h(x) to follow ROLLE THEOREM

sankar,can u explain how for q2?

explanation is within rolles theorem

oops wat is the ans for q1

Vivek ·

for q1 it is 2 real roots

q1) g'''(x)=f''(x)

but f'(a)=f'(b)=f'(c)=0

but a<c<b.

therefore the f''(x) shud have two roots.

q2)g'(x)=f(x)

but g'(a)=0 therefore it is one of the root.

and also combining g'(b)< 0,g''(c)=g''(b)=0 we can conclude dat there is other root in the interval [c,b]

hey sankara.in q1 it is asked in [a,b] not in [a,c].......as u have taken in post#9......[1][1]

Q 1)

g''(a) = g''(c) = 0 & g''(c) = g''(b) = 0

Hence applying Rolles Thrm. , we can say that

g'''(x) has atleast 1 real root in [a,c] and atleast 1 real root in [c,b]

Hence g'''(x) has atleast 2 real roots in [a,b].

So from the given options , by eliminating B),C) & D) we can say that in [a,b] g'''(x) has exactly 2 real roots. BUT if the same question had options like

in [a,b], g'''(x) has
(A)atleast 2 real roots
(B)at most 2 real roots
(C)exactly 2 real roots
(D)atleast 2 roots,not necessarily real

I do not know which option to mark.[2][2][2]

Q 2)

Hence option A) is correct.
