Value of c for which conclusion of Mean Value Theorem holds for the function f(x) = logₑ x on the interval [1, 3] is

  1. log₃ e
  2. logₑ 3
  3. 2 log₃ e
  4. 1/2 log₃ e

Correct answer: 2 log₃ e

Solution

For f(x)=ln x on [1,3], f'(c) = (f(3)-f(1))/(3-1) = (ln3)/2. Since f'(c)=1/c, c = 2/ln3 = 2 log_3 e.
