Written solution

f twice differentiable on R, non-constantf \text{ twice differentiable on } \mathbb{R},\ \text{non-constant}

f(x)=f(1−x) (symmetric about x=12),f′ ⁣(14)=0f(x) = f(1-x)\ (\text{symmetric about } x=\tfrac12),\qquad f'\!\left(\tfrac14\right) = 0

To find: the correct statement(s) among (1)–(4)\text{To find: the correct statement(s) among } (1)\text{–}(4)

f′(x)=−f′(1−x)f'(x) = -f'(1-x)

x=12:f′ ⁣(12)=−f′ ⁣(12)⇒f′ ⁣(12)=0x=\tfrac12:\quad f'\!\left(\tfrac12\right) = -f'\!\left(\tfrac12\right) \Rightarrow f'\!\left(\tfrac12\right)=0

x=14:f′ ⁣(14)=−f′ ⁣(34)⇒f′ ⁣(34)=0x=\tfrac14:\quad f'\!\left(\tfrac14\right) = -f'\!\left(\tfrac34\right) \Rightarrow f'\!\left(\tfrac34\right)=0

f′′(x)=f′′(1−x)f''(x) = f''(1-x)

Rolle on f′: f′′=0 in (14,12) and in (12,34)\text{Rolle on } f':\ f''=0 \text{ in } \left(\tfrac14,\tfrac12\right) \text{ and in } \left(\tfrac12,\tfrac34\right)

⇒f′′ vanishes at least twice on [0,1]⇒(1) TRUE\Rightarrow f'' \text{ vanishes at least twice on } [0,1] \Rightarrow (1)\ \text{TRUE}

u=x+12:∫−1/21/2f(x+12)sin⁡x dx=∫01f(u)sin⁡(u−12) duu = x+\tfrac12:\quad \int_{-1/2}^{1/2} f(x+\tfrac12)\sin x\,dx = \int_0^1 f(u)\sin(u-\tfrac12)\,du

f(u) even, sin⁡(u−12) odd about 12⇒integrand oddf(u) \text{ even, } \sin(u-\tfrac12) \text{ odd about } \tfrac12 \Rightarrow \text{integrand odd}

⇒(3) TRUE\Rightarrow (3)\ \text{TRUE}

u=1−t:∫1/21f(1−t)esin⁡πt dt=∫01/2f(u)esin⁡π(1−u) duu = 1-t:\quad \int_{1/2}^{1} f(1-t)e^{\sin\pi t}\,dt = \int_0^{1/2} f(u)e^{\sin\pi(1-u)}\,du

sin⁡π(1−u)=sin⁡πu⇒(4) TRUE\sin\pi(1-u) = \sin\pi u \Rightarrow (4)\ \text{TRUE}

Correct: (1), (2), (3), (4)\boxed{\text{Correct: } (1),\ (2),\ (3),\ (4)}
