The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the polynomial function \( f(x) \) based on the given conditions and then analyze the derivatives of this function. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the form of the polynomial**: Since \( f(x) \) is a twice differentiable polynomial function, we can assume it is a quadratic polynomial of the form: \[ f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c \] 2. **Set up equations using the given values**: We are given three conditions: - \( f(1) = 1 \) - \( f(2) = 4 \) - \( f(3) = 9 \) Using these conditions, we can set up the following equations: - From \( f(1) = 1 \): \[ a(1)^2 + b(1) + c = 1 \implies a + b + c = 1 \quad \text{(1)} \] - From \( f(2) = 4 \): \[ a(2)^2 + b(2) + c = 4 \implies 4a + 2b + c = 4 \quad \text{(2)} \] - From \( f(3) = 9 \): \[ a(3)^2 + b(3) + c = 9 \implies 9a + 3b + c = 9 \quad \text{(3)} \] 3. **Solve the system of equations**: We can solve equations (1), (2), and (3) simultaneously. - Subtract equation (1) from equation (2): \[ (4a + 2b + c) - (a + b + c) = 4 - 1 \] \[ 3a + b = 3 \quad \text{(4)} \] - Subtract equation (2) from equation (3): \[ (9a + 3b + c) - (4a + 2b + c) = 9 - 4 \] \[ 5a + b = 5 \quad \text{(5)} \] - Now, subtract equation (4) from equation (5): \[ (5a + b) - (3a + b) = 5 - 3 \] \[ 2a = 2 \implies a = 1 \] - Substitute \( a = 1 \) back into equation (4): \[ 3(1) + b = 3 \implies 3 + b = 3 \implies b = 0 \] - Substitute \( a = 1 \) and \( b = 0 \) into equation (1): \[ 1 + 0 + c = 1 \implies c = 0 \] 4. **Write the polynomial function**: Thus, we have: \[ f(x) = 1x^2 + 0x + 0 = x^2 \] 5. **Find the first and second derivatives**: - The first derivative \( f'(x) \): \[ f'(x) = 2x \] - The second derivative \( f''(x) \): \[ f''(x) = 2 \] 6. **Analyze the conditions**: - Since \( f''(x) = 2 \) for all \( x \), it satisfies the condition that there exists at least one \( x \) in \( (1, 3) \) such that \( f''(x) = 2 \). - For the first derivative \( f'(x) = 2x \), it is equal to 5 for \( x = 2.5 \), which lies in the interval \( (2, 3) \). - The condition \( f''(x) = 3 \) is not satisfied since \( f''(x) = 2 \) for all \( x \). ### Conclusion: The correct statement is that there exists at least one \( x \) in \( (1, 3) \) such that \( f''(x) = 2 \).
