In [0, 1] Lagrange's mean value theorem is not applicable to |
$f(x)= \begin{cases}\frac{1}{2}-x, & x<\frac{1}{2} \\ \left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)^2, & x \geq \frac{1}{2}\end{cases}$ $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}\frac{\sin x}{x}, & x \neq 0 \\ 1, & x=0\end{array}\right.$ $f(x)=x|x|$ $f(x)=|x|$ |
$f(x)= \begin{cases}\frac{1}{2}-x, & x<\frac{1}{2} \\ \left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)^2, & x \geq \frac{1}{2}\end{cases}$ |
For the function $f(x)$ given in option (a), we have (LHD at x = $\frac{1}{2}$) = -1 and, (RHD at x = $\frac{1}{2}$) = 0 So, it is not differentiable at $x=\frac{1}{2} \in(0,1)$. Hence, Lagrange's mean value theorem is not applicable. |
