Let $f:\left[ {0,1} \right] \to R$ (the set of all real numbers) be a function. Suppose the function $f$ is twice differentiable, $f(0) = f(1)=0$ and satisfies $f''\left( x \right) - 2f'\left( x \right) + f\left( x \right) \ge .{e^x},x \in \left[ {0,1} \right]$.
(i) $f^{\prime \prime}(x)>0$ implies the concavity of $f(x)$ is upward and $f^{\prime \prime}(x)<0$ implies the concavity of $f(x)$ is downward.
(ii) $f^{\prime \prime}(x)>0 \quad \forall x \in(a, b)$ and $f(a)=f(b)=0$ implies that the concavity of the function is upward and $f(x)$ lies below the $x$-axis in the interval $x \in(a, b)$
Let $f:\left[ {0,1} \right] \to R$ (the set of all real numbers) be a function. Suppose the function $f$ is twice differentiable, $f(0) = f(1)=0$ and satisfies $f''\left( x \right) - 2f'\left( x \right) + f\left( x \right) \ge .{e^x},x \in \left[ {0,1} \right]$.
If the function ${e^{ - x}}f\left( x \right)$ assumes its minimum in the interval $\left[ {0,1} \right]$ at $x = {1 \over 4}$, which of the following is true?
A.

D.
$f'\left( x \right) < f\left( x \right),{3 \over 4} < x < 1$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Given, $e^{-x} f(x)$ has point of minima at $x=\frac{1}{4}$ in the interval $x \in[0,1]$
Hence, the concavity of $e^{-x} f(x)$ is upward and given $x=\frac{1}{4}$ is the point of local minima of $e^{-x} f(x)$ in $x \in[0,1]$
$\therefore e^{-x} f(x)$ is decreasing in $x \in\left(0, \frac{1}{4}\right)$ and increasing in $x \in\left(\frac{1}{4}, 1\right)$
$\Rightarrow\left(e^{-x} f(x)\right)^{\prime}<0$ in $x \in\left(0, \frac{1}{4}\right)$ and $\left(e^{-x} f(x)\right)^{\prime}>0$ in $x \in\left(\frac{1}{4}, 1\right)$
$\Rightarrow e^{-x} f^{\prime}(x)-e^{-x} f(x)<0$ in $x \in$
$\therefore e^{-x} f(x)$ is decreasing in $x \in\left(0, \frac{1}{4}\right)$ and increasing in $x \in\left(\frac{1}{4}, 1\right)$
$\Rightarrow\left(e^{-x} f(x)\right)^{\prime}<0, x \in\left(0, \frac{1}{4}\right)$ and
$\left(e^{-x} f(x)\right)^{\prime}>0, x \in\left(\frac{1}{4}, 1\right)$
$\Rightarrow e^{-x} f^{\prime}(x)-e^{-x} f(x)<0, x \in\left(0, \frac{1}{4}\right)$ and
$e^{-x} f^{\prime}(x)-e^{-x} f(x)>0, \quad x \in\left(\frac{1}{4}, 1\right)$
$\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x) < f(x), x \in\left(0, \frac{1}{4}\right)$ and
$f^{\prime}(x) > f(x), x \in\left(\frac{1}{4}, 1\right)$
Hints :
$\Rightarrow e^{-x} f(x)$ is minimum at $x=\frac{1}{4}$ in $x \in\left[0, \frac{1}{4}\right]$ implies $e^{-x} f(x)$ is decreasing in $x \in\left[0, \frac{1}{4}\right]$ and $e^{-x} f(x)$ is increasing in $x \in\left(\frac{1}{4}, 1\right)$.
Let $f\left( x \right) = {\left( {1 - x} \right)^2}\,\,{\sin ^2}\,\,x + {x^2}$ for all $x \in IR$ and let
$g\left( x \right) = \int\limits_1^x {\left( {{{2\left( {t - 1} \right)} \over {t + 1}} - In\,t} \right)f\left( t \right)dt} $ for all $x \in \left( {1,\,\infty } \right)$.

C.
$g$ is increasing on $(1, 2)$ and decreasing on $\left( {2,\infty } \right)$
D.
$g$ is decreasing on $(1, 2)$ and increasing on $\left( {2,\infty } \right)$
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Given,
$\begin{aligned}
g(x) & =\int_1^x\left(\frac{2(t-1)}{t+1}-\ln t\right) f(t) d t \\
\text { and } f(x) & =(1-x)^2 \sin ^2 x+x^2 \\
\Rightarrow g(x) & =\int_1^x\left(\frac{2(t-1)}{t+1}-\ln t\right)\left((1-t)^2 \sin ^2 t+t^2\right) d t
\end{aligned}$
Let $f\left( x \right) = {\left( {1 - x} \right)^2}\,\,{\sin ^2}\,\,x + {x^2}$ for all $x \in IR$ and let
$g\left( x \right) = \int\limits_1^x {\left( {{{2\left( {t - 1} \right)} \over {t + 1}} - In\,t} \right)f\left( t \right)dt} $ for all $x \in \left( {1,\,\infty } \right)$.
Consider the statements:
$P:$ There exists some $x \in R$ such that $f\left( x \right) + 2x = 2\left( {1 + {x^2}} \right)$
$Q:\,\,$ There exists some $x \in R$ such that $2\,f\left( x \right) + 1 = 2x\left( {1 + x} \right)$
Then
Hence, $\mathrm{B}(x)$ is increasing function on $x \in(0,1)$ and decreasing on $x \in(-\infty, 0) \cup(1, \infty), \mathrm{B}^{\prime \prime}(x)=0$ at $x=-\frac{1}{2}$ and $\mathrm{B}^{\prime \prime}(x) \geq 0$ for $x \in \mathrm{R}-\left\{\frac{-1}{2}, 1\right\} \text {. }$

A.
$2\sqrt{65}$
B.
$\sqrt{65}$
C.
$4\sqrt{65}$
D.
$4\sqrt{75}$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Let the polynomial be $p(x) = a{x^3} + b{x^2} + cx + d$.
We know $p(-1) = 10$. So, $-a + b - c + d = 10$.
We also know $p(1) = -6$. So, $a + b + c + d = -6$.
It is given that $p(x)$ has a maximum at $x = -1$. For a maximum or minimum, the first derivative is zero: $p'(-1) = 0$.
Plug in $x = -1$ in the derivative: $3a(-1)^2 + 2b(-1) + c = 0$, which means $3a - 2b + c = 0$.
It is given that $p'(x)$ has a minimum at $x = 1$. For a minimum or maximum of the derivative, the second derivative is zero: $p''(1) = 0$.
Find the second derivative: $p''(x) = 6a x + 2b$.
Plug in $x = 1$: $6a(1) + 2b = 0$, which gives $6a + 2b = 0$.
Now, we have four equations:
1) $-a + b - c + d = 10$
2) $a + b + c + d = -6$
3) $3a - 2b + c = 0$
4) $6a + 2b = 0$
Solving these equations, we find:
$a = 1$, $b = -3$, $c = -9$, $d = 5$
So the polynomial is $p(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 - 9x + 5$.
Find where $p'(x) = 0$ (for local maximum and minimum points).
$p'(x) = 3x^2 - 6x - 9$
Set this equal to zero: $3x^2 - 6x - 9 = 0$
Divide both sides by 3: $x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0$
Factorize: $(x + 1)(x - 3) = 0$
So $x = -1$ and $x = 3$.
At $x = -1$, we have a maximum and at $x = 3$, we have a minimum.
Calculate the points:
At $x = -1$, $p(-1) = 10$, so the point is $(-1, 10)$.
At $x = 3$, $p(3) = (3)^3 - 3(3)^2 - 9 \times 3 + 5 = 27 - 27 - 27 + 5 = -22$, so the point is $(3, -22)$.
The distance between these two points is:
$\sqrt{(3 - (-1))^2 + ((-22) - 10)^2}$
