Let $f(x)$ satisfies the requirements of Lagrange's mean value theorem in $[0,2]$. If $f(0)=0$ and $f'(x) \leq \frac{1}{2}$ for all $x$ in $[0,2]$, then : |
$|f(x)|=2$ $f(x)=2 x$ $f(x) \leq 1$ $f(x)=3$ |
$f(x) \leq 1$ |
$f(x)$ satisfies Longrages theorem in $\{0,2\}$ $f(0)=0$ $f'(x) \leq 1 / 2$ for atieast some $x_0$ $f'\left(x_0\right) =\frac{f(2)-f(0)}{2-0}$ (as per LMVT theorem) $f'\left(x_0\right) =\frac{f(2)-0}{2}$ $f'\left(x_0\right) =\frac{f(2)}{2}$ as $f'\left(x_0\right) \leq \frac{1}{2}$ So LMVT holds for [0, x] as well where 0 < x < 2 we get $f'(x) = \frac{f(x) - f(0)}{x - 0} = \frac{f(x)}{x}$ So $x f'(x_0) = f(x)$ $f(x) = x f'(x_0) ≤ 2 × \frac{1}{2} = 1$ f(x) ≤ 1 |
