To determine the correct statements, let us define an auxiliary function g:R→R given by:
g(x)=e−2xf(x)
Differentiating g(x) with respect to x using the product rule gives:
g′(x)=−2e−2xf(x)+e−2xf′(x)=e−2x(f′(x)−2f(x))
We are given that f′(x)>2f(x) for all x∈R, which implies:
f′(x)−2f(x)>0for all x∈R
Since the exponential function e−2x>0 for all x∈R, we have:
g′(x)>0for all x∈R
This implies that g(x) is a strictly increasing function on R.
Now, for any x∈(0,∞), since x>0 and g(x) is strictly increasing:
g(x)>g(0)
Using f(0)=1, we can evaluate g(0):
g(0)=e0f(0)=1⋅1=1
Therefore:
e−2xf(x)>1⟹f(x)>e2xfor all x∈(0,∞)
This confirms that Option (C) is correct.
Next, for x∈(0,∞), since e2x>1>0, it follows from f(x)>e2x that:
f(x)>0for all x∈(0,∞)
Using the given condition f′(x)>2f(x):
f′(x)>2f(x)>2e2x>0for all x∈(0,∞)
Since f′(x)>0 for all x∈(0,∞), the function f(x) is strictly increasing in (0,∞).
This confirms that Option (A) is correct and Option (B) is incorrect.
Finally, since f′(x)>2e2x>e2x for x∈(0,∞), Option (D) is incorrect.
Correct Options:
(A) and (C)
