Suppose the function fx has the value 3 at x2 and 2 c1 So fx
Suppose the function f(x) has the value 3 at x=2 and 2<= f \'(x) <=4 for 2<=x<=5. Use the racetrack principle to give(best possible from the information available) upper and lower bounds for f(5)

Solution
f\'(x) represents the rate of increase of f(x) So to find the max we assume f\'(x)=4. implies y=f(x)=4x+c f(2)=3 => c=-5 So f(x)=4x-3 So max(f(5))=4(5)-3=17 To find min we take f\'(x)=2. implies y=f(x)=2x+c f(2)=3 => c=-1 So f(x)=2x-1 So min(f(5))=2(5)-1=9 Hope you got it :)
