according to intermediate value theorem, 1 is obvious.
according to mean value theorem, 2 is obvious.
and the last one is still obvious.....show u a example:y=2x^2-3x+1
42.(I hope you know the language of Wolfram's software--Mathematica...)
Integrate[f'''(x),{x,0,1}]=f''(1)-f''(0), and so do f''(x) and f'(x)
5>Max[f(1)]=Max[Integrate[f'(x),{x,0,1}]+f(0)=Max[Integrate[f''(x),{x,0,1}]+f'(0)+f(0)=Max[Integrate[f'''(x),{x,0,1}]+f''(0)+f'(0)+f(0)
Apparently, Max[f'''(x)]=b -> Max[f''(x)]=bx+2 -> Max[f'(x)]=(b/2)*x^2+2x+1 -> Max[f(x)]= ((b^3)/6)x^3+x^2+x+1
So Max[f(1)]=b/6+1+1+1<5 -> b<=12
I'm not a math major student. If you think my solution is not convinced, you can prove it yourself..=_=iiii

Re: URGENT--- GRE 9367 Q-42 AND Q-23
Thanks a lot... but can you explain me the intermediate value theorem part.... i am bit confused about it... as it states that if f(x) is continuous on [a,b] and k is any number between f(a) and f(b), then there exists at least one no. c such that a<c<b and f(c)=k.mhyyh wrote:23.lifeisgood88 wrote:42.

Re: URGENT--- GRE 9367 Q-42 AND Q-23
define g(x)=f(x)-x which is continuous on [0,1]
g(0)=f(0)-0=1>0
g(1)=f(1)-1=0-1=-1<0
By IVT,
There is a x in (0,1) such that g(x)=f(x)-x=0
=>
f(x)=x
Wishing u all the best for your GRE.

can you solve Q-42 without use of mathematica....... just for curiosity...

Re: URGENT--- GRE 9367 Q-42 AND Q-23
For 42, the worst case scenario is that your 3rd derivative is constantly equal to B. This is the case for the poly (B/6)x^3+x^2+x+1. (which satisfies the other conditions). Plug in one, so you get 3+B/6 which needs to be less than 5, thus B is less than 12

f() is a continuous function on [a,b].
for every min{f(a),f(b)}<=y_0<=max{f(a),f(b)}
there exist at least one x from [a,b]
s.t. f(x_0)=y_0..

Re: URGENT--- GRE 9367 Q-42 AND Q-23
For (I), the intermediate value theorem only works in a closed interval, no?
If I take f(x)=-x^2+1, there is no x in an open interval (0, 1) where f(x)=x.
Can someone please clarify?

The answer is right above you, can you not even be bothered by at least looking at the post?

Sure there is. Find the intersection of the curves y = -x^2 + 1 and y = x.orangebaby wrote:For (I), the intermediate value theorem only works in a closed interval, no?

x is approximately .62.

I know this question post is old, but I think this reply will be helpful to anyone thinking about this problem.
Question 42 is essentially asking you about Taylor's theorem.
(I had originally read |f''(x)| < b in the problem statement and later learned it was a triple derivative, whence I realized it was a simple question on Taylor's theorem.)
