Question
Let ƒ(x) = x∫0 et(t-1)(t-2) dt. Then ƒ(x) decreases in the interval
Options :
x∈ (2.3)
x∈ (1.2)
x∈ (0.1)
x∈ (0.5.1)
Answer :
x∈ (1.2)
Solution :
Given : ƒ(x) = x∫0 et(t-1)(t-2) dt.
ƒ(x) decreases, that means slope of ƒ(x) means (ƒ'(x)) will be negative.
i.e., ƒ'(x)<0 (Slope = d/dx ƒ(x) = ƒ'(x) )
We need to find derivative of ƒ(x)
By Leibnitz rule,
ƒ'(x)= d/dx x∫0 et(t-1)(t-2) dt. ƒ'(x)<0
[ ex(x2-3x+2)(1)-e0(02+0+2)(0)] < 0
(x2-3x+2)< 0
so, 1<x<2
Hence, the correct option is (B).
