\) Lagranges Mean Value theorem is NOT applicable to

\( \mathbf{n}[\mathbf{0}, \mathbf{1}] \) Lagranges Mean Value theorem is NOT applicable to

  • A. \( f(x)=x|x| \)
  • B. \( f(x)=|x| \)
  • C. \( f(x)=x \)
  • D. none of these

Step-by-step solution

Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem requires the function to be continuous on [0,1] and differentiable on (0,1). Both f(x)=x|x| and f(x)=|x| reduce to f(x)=x on [0,1], which is continuous and differentiable. f(x)=x is also continuous and differentiable. Hence the theorem applies to all three functions, so none is not applicable.
