Q. If the tangent to the graph function $y = f(x)$ makes angles $\frac{\pi}{4}$ and $\frac{\pi}{3}$ with the $x$-axis is at the point $x = 2$ and $x = 4$ respectively, the value of $\int_{2}^{4}{f^{'}(x)f^{''}(x)}\ dx$

A) $f(4)f(2)$
B) $f(4)$
C) $f(2)$
D) 1
Explanation

(d)
Given, $f^{'}(2) = \tan{\frac{\pi}{4} = 1,\ f^{'}(4) = \tan{\frac{\pi}{3} = \sqrt{3}}}$
$\therefore\int_{2}^{4}{f^{'}(x)f^{''}(x)dx = \left\lbrack \frac{1}{2}\lbrack f^{'}(x)\left. \ \ \right\rbrack^{2} \right\rbrack_{2}^{4}}$
$= \frac{1}{2}\lbrack f^{'}(4)\left. \ \ \right\rbrack^{2} - \frac{1}{2}\left\lbrack f^{'}(2) \right\rbrack^{2}$
$= \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 1$
