JEE Main 2022 · 28 Jul · Shift 1, Mathematics question 23

Let f:[0,1]→Rf:[0,1]\to\mathbf R be a twice differentiable function in (0, 1) such that f(0)=3f(0)=3 and f(1)=5f(1)=5. If the line y=2x+3y=2x+3 intersects the graph of ff at only two distinct points in (0, 1), then the least number of points x∈(0,1)x\in(0,1), at which f′′(x)=0f''(x)=0, is ______.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 2

Let g=f−(2x+3)g=f-(2x+3): zeros at 0, 1 and two inside (0, 1), four in all.

Rolle gives at least 3 zeros of g′g' and then 2 zeros of g′′=f′′g''=f''.

Answer: 2
