Question:

f : R → R be a differentiable function x ∈ R. If tangent drawn to the curve at any point x ∈ (a, b) always lie below the curve then:

Options:

$f'(x)>0,f''(x)<0\,\,x∈ (a, b)$

$f'(x)<0,f''(x)<0\,\,x∈ (a, b)$

$f'(x)>0,f''(x)>0\,\,x∈ (a, b)$

None of these

Correct Answer:

$f'(x)>0,f''(x)>0\,\,x∈ (a, b)$

Explanation:

Checking the options:

(A) f'(x) > 0

f''(x) < 0

Not satisfactory

(B) f'(x) < 0

f''(x) < 0

Not satisfactory

(C) f'(x) > 0

f''(x) > 0

Satisfactory ⇒ (C)
