Let g(x) = $\int_0^x {f(t)dt}$, where f is continuous function in [ 0, 3 ] such that ${1 \over 3}$ $\le$ f(t) $\le$ 1 for all t$\in$ [0, 1] and 0 $\le$ f(t) $\le$ ${1 \over 2}$ for all t$\in$ (1, 3]. The largest possible interval in which g(3) lies is :
Solution
Given, $g(x)=\int_0^x f(t) d t$<br/><br/>
$\therefore g(3)=\int_0^3 f(t) d t=\int_0^1 f(t) d t+\int_1^3 f(t) d t$<br/><br/>
$\Rightarrow \int_0^1 \frac{1}{3} d t+\int_1^3 0 \cdot d t \leq g(3) \leq \int_0^1 1 d t+\int_1^3 \frac{1}{2} d t$<br/><br/>
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \leq g(3) \leq 1+1$<br/><br/>
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \leq g(3) \leq 2$
