Consider the polynomial f(x) = x3 $$-$$ 6x2 + 11x $$-$$ 6 on the domain S, given by 1 $$\le$$ x $$\le$$ 3. The first and second derivatives are f'(x) and f''(x).
Consider the following statements :
I. The given polynomial is zero at the boundary points x = 1 and x = 3.
II. There exists one local maxima of f(x) within the domain S.
III. The second derivative f''(x) > 0 throughout the domains S.
IV. There exists one local minima f(x) within the domain S.
$$\int {\left( {x - {{{x^2}} \over 2} + {{{x^3}} \over 3} - {{{x^4}} \over 4} + ....} \right)dx} $$ is equal to :
Let max {a, b} denote the maximum of two real numbers a and b. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE about the function f(x) = max{3 $$-$$ x, x $$-$$ 1}?
A set of observations of independent variable (x) and the corresponding dependent variable (y) is given below.
x | 5 | 2 | 4 | 3 |
---|---|---|---|---|
y | 16 | 10 | 13 | 12 |
