Nature of real valued function f(x)

In summary, according to the given conditions, $f(x)$ is a differentiable real valued function that satisfies $f''(x)-3f'(x)>3\;\forall x \geq 0$ and $f'''(x)>0\;\forall x\geq 0$, with $f'(0)=-1$. By manipulating the given equations, it can be deduced that $f(x)$ is an increasing function. This is because $f'(x)>-1+ce^{3x}$ and integrating this inequality leads to $f(x)>-x+\frac{c}{3}e^{3x}+D$, which is a linear function with a positive slope, thus representing an increasing

If $f(x)$ is a differentiable real valued function satisfying $f''(x)-3f'(x)>3\;\forall x \geq 0$and $f'''(x)>0\;\forall x\geq 0$ and $f'(0)=-1\;,$ Then $f(x)+x\;\forall x>0$ is $\bf{Options}:$

$(a)\;$ decreasing function

$(b)\;$ Increasing function

$(b)\;$ Constant function

$(d)\;\;$ Periodic function

I have tried like that way $\displaystyle f''(x)-3f'(x)>3\;,$ Now Multiplied both side by $e^{-3x}$

We get $\displaystyle e^{-3x}f''(x)-3f'(x)e^{-3x}>3\Rightarrow \frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{-3x}f'(x)\right)>3e^{-3x}$

Now Integrate both side w r to $x\;,$ We get $\displaystyle \int \frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{-3x}f'(x)\right)dx>\int 3e^{-3x}dx$

So we get $\displaystyle e^{-3x}f'(x)>-e^{-3x}+c\Rightarrow f'(x)>-1+ce^{3x}$

Now again integrate both side w r to $x\;,$ Means $\displaystyle \int f'(x)dx>\int (-1+ce^{3x})dx$

So $\displaystyle f(x)>-x+\frac{c}{3}e^{3x}+D$

Now How can I Proceed after that, Thanks

I think you should be able to make simple arguments for why it is not three of the four possible answers. So by deduction it must be the remaining one (assuming that the question stipulates that there is one correct answer). Having done that you may be able to make come up with a more constructive argument.

Start by asking what is f"(0) and then what do you know about f"(x).
 

FAQ: Nature of real valued function f(x)

What is the nature of a real valued function f(x)?

A real valued function f(x) is a mathematical relationship where each input value, denoted by x, is associated with a single output value, denoted by f(x). The nature of a real valued function f(x) is characterized by its domain, range, and behavior, which can be described using various mathematical concepts and tools.

How do we determine the domain of a real valued function f(x)?

The domain of a real valued function f(x) is the set of all possible input values for which the function is defined. To determine the domain, we must consider any restrictions on the input values, such as division by zero or taking the square root of a negative number. We also need to ensure that the function is defined for all values in the domain.

What is the range of a real valued function f(x)?

The range of a real valued function f(x) is the set of all possible output values that the function can produce. It is determined by considering the behavior of the function and the values in its domain. In some cases, the range may be restricted by the function's behavior or by the domain of the function's inverse.

How does the behavior of a real valued function f(x) affect its graph?

The behavior of a real valued function f(x) can significantly impact its graph. The slope and concavity of the function can determine whether its graph is increasing or decreasing, and how quickly it is changing. The presence of asymptotes, critical points, and intercepts can also influence the shape of the graph.

How can we use real valued functions f(x) in practical applications?

Real valued functions f(x) have numerous practical applications in various fields, including physics, engineering, finance, and statistics. They can be used to model and predict real-world phenomena, such as population growth, stock prices, and physical motion. They also allow us to solve problems and make decisions using mathematical methods and techniques.
