Q1:

Application of Derivatives

Easy

Let f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} be a function such that

f′(x)=(x−2024)3(x−2025)(x−2026)2f'(x) = (x - 2024)^3(x - 2025)(x - 2026)^2 for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R}.

Let g:R→(0,∞)g: \mathbb{R} \to (0, \infty) be a function such that g(x)=f(x)g(x) = \sqrt{f(x)} for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R}.
