Let f (x) = [αx2x+β,1x<11x[t4+2t2+1t4+t2+1]dt,1x2x3+px+q,2<x3
If LMVT is applicable for f (x) in  [–1, 3] and 'c' is the prescribed value of  x for LMVT then

[Note: [y] denotes greatest integer less than or equal to y.]

α – p = 12

β + q = – 15

[4c2] + p = 6

[c] + b = 5

Solution

f(x)=[αx2x+β,1x<11x1dt=x+1,1x2x3+px+q,2<x3

continuity at  x = 1
α – 1 + β = 2    ⇒    α + β = 3            
derivability at x = 1
2αx – 1|x=1 = 1   ⇒  α = 1
and  β = 2
continuity at  x = 2
3 = 8 + 2p + q      ⇒    2p + q = – 5
derivability at x = 2
3x2 + p |x = 2 = 1
p = – 11,  q = 17
f (x) = [x2x+2,1x<1x+1,1x2x311x+17,2<x3
slope of the chord joining end points,  (– 1, 4)  and  (3, 11) = 74
 3x2 – 11 =  74   ⇒    3x2 = 514   ⇒    4c2 = 17.
