Options:
  • A $\mathrm{f}^{\prime \prime}(\mathrm{c})=0$ for some $\mathrm{c} \in \mathbb{R}$
  • B there is no point for which $f^{\prime \prime}(x)=0$
  • C at all points $f^{\prime \prime}(x)>0$
  • D at all points $f^{\prime \prime}(x) < 0$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{f}^{\prime \prime}(\mathrm{c})=0$ for some $\mathrm{c} \in \mathbb{R}$
Hint:
$f(0)=f(1)=0$
By Rolle's theorem $\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{c})=0$ for some $\mathrm{c} \in(0,1)$
Now, $\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(0)=\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{c})=0$. Again by Rolle's theorem $\mathrm{f}^{\prime \prime}\left(\mathrm{c}_{1}\right)=0 \quad \mathrm{c}_{1} \in(0, \mathrm{c})$
