    The value of c in (0, 2) satisfying the mean value theorem for the function\[f(x)=x{{(x-1)}^{2}},x\in [0,2]\]is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{3}{4}\]  

    B)                         \[\frac{4}{3}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{3}\]                  

    D)         \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    E)  \[\frac{5}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given curve is \[f(x)+x{{(x-1)}^{2}},x\in [0,2]\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f(x)=x(3x-4)+1\] \[\therefore \]  \[f(c)=c(3c-4)+1\] Also,     \[f(0)=0,\]\[f(2)=2\] By mean value theorem \[f(0)-f(2)=f(c)(0-2)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[0-2=(c(3c-4)+1)(-2)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[3{{c}^{2}}-4c+1=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[c(3c-4)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[c=0,\frac{4}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[c=\frac{4}{3}\] As           \[0\cancel{\in }(0,2)\]
