ROLLE'S THRM RE-VISITED

THIS WAS A COMP TYPE QUESTN SO OBVIOUSLY HAD 3 QUESTNS.... I HAD POSTD JUS DA FIRST ONE THINKIN MAYB SUM1 WILL GET THE FUNCTN f(x) but Anurag has come up with a real novel solution so i am forced to post da 2nd and da 3rd que

QUE1
QUE2

Sorry i wasn't clear...
The ans is 1/2
Imposing condition of rolle's theorem, we get φ(b)=0,
=>φ(a)=0; -(1)
Also, Solving φ'(c)=0, we get f''(c)=2A;

Finally, φ(a)=0 gives:

f(b)=f(a)+(b-a)f'(a)+h(b-a)2f''(c)
=f(a)+(b-a)f'(a)+h(b-a)2(2A) -(2) [coz f''(c)=2A]

But φ(a)=0 (From 1)

=>f(b) - f(a)-(b-a)f'(a)-(b-a)2A=0
=>f(b)= f(a) + (b-a)f'(a) + (b-a)2A (3)

Comparing (2) & (3),

h=1/2.
I'm solving the rest...

no i dont think so

Here's the soln 4 Q2:
Simplify f(1+h)-f(1)/h2=kc (sorry, can't type lambda)
We get:
h+3=kc -(1)

Also, applying condition of rolle theorem on φ(x),
φ(1)=0, so φ(1+h)=0;
Simplify, we get,
h+3=A -(2)

Also, φ'(c)=0;
=>f''(c)=2A=6c
=>A=3c -(3)

From (1),(2),(3):
k(or lambda)=3.

Solving Q3...

Q3 Ans -1/2;

Proceed in the exact same way as q2.
I don't think i need 2 post the whole soln...;)

There's an incredibly short method for Q3!!
Take h->0 and apply l hospital's rule twice...
U'll getans -1/2

NICE METHOD anurag!!!!

but hope u hav not taken f(1+h)-f(1)/h2= kc asi it reads in ur soln coz the questn says :

[f(1+h)-f(1)]/h2=kc

i wonder how u got 3 + h = kc

coz i'm gettin

1/h2 + 3 + h = kc

U didnt subtract f(1)=1
