Rolles's theorem holds for the function $x^3+\mathrm{b} x^2+\mathrm{c} x, 1 \leq x \leq 2$ at the point $\frac{4}{3}$, the respective values of $b$ and $c$ are :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
$f(x)=x^3+b x^2+c x \quad 1 \leq x \leq 2$
So by Rolle's theorem
f(x) is continous on [1, 2]
differentiable on (1, 2)
Hence $f(1)=f(2)$
$\Rightarrow (1)^3+b(1)^2+c(1)=(2)^3+(2)^2 b+(2) c$
$1+b+c=8+4 b+2 c$
$(8-1)+(4 b-b)+(2 c-c)=0$
7 + 3b + c = 0 .....(1)
$f'(x)=\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^3+b x^2+c\right)=3 x^2+2 b x+c-2$
at $4 / 3 \quad f'(4 / 3)=0$ as por rolle's theorem
f'(4/3) = 0
substituting from eq (2)
$=3 \times\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^2+2 \times \frac{4}{3} b+c=0$
$\Rightarrow 3 \times \frac{16}{9}+\frac{8}{3} b+c=0$
$=\frac{16}{3}+\frac{8}{3} b+c=0$
$16+8 b+3 c=0$ ........(3)
eq (1) × (2) --- eq (3)
$3 \times(7+3 b+c=0)$
$-(16+8 b+3 c=0)$
$\Rightarrow 21+a b+3 c=0$
$-16+8 b+3 c=0 $
$5+b=0 \Rightarrow b =-5$
Sunstituting b = -5 in eq (1) → we get
$7 \times 3(-5)+c=0$
$7-15+c=0 \Rightarrow-8+c=0 \Rightarrow c=8$
b = -5, c = 8
