A function $y=f(x)$ has a second order derivative $f''(x)=6(x-1)$. If its graph passes through the point $(2,1)$ and at that point the tangent to the graph is $y=3 x-5$, then the function is |
$(x+1)^2$ $(x-1)^3$ $(x+1)^3$ $(x-1)^2$ |
$(x-1)^3$ |
We have, $f^{\prime \prime}(x)=6(x-1)$ $\Rightarrow f'(x)=3(x-1)^2+C$ [On integrating] ......(i) It is given that $y=3 x-5$ is tangent to the curve $y=f(x)$ at the point (2, 1) $\Rightarrow \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{(2,1)}$ = (Slope of the line $y=3 x-5$) $\Rightarrow \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{(2,1)}=3 \Rightarrow\left\{f'(x)\right\}_{(2,1)}=3 \Rightarrow f'(2)=3$ Putting $x=2, f'(2)=3$ in (i), we get $C=0$ ∴ $f'(x)=3(x-1)^2$ [Putting $c=0$ in (i)] $\Rightarrow f(x)=(x-1)^3+C_1$ [On integrating] ......(ii) The curve $y=f(x)$ passes through $(2,1)$. ∴ $f(2)=1$ Putting $x=2, f(2)=1$ in (ii), we get $C_1=0$ Putting $C_1=0$ in (ii), we get $f(x)=(x-1)^3$ |
