Let F:R→RF: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} be a thrice differentiable function. Suppose that F(1)=0F(1) = 0, F(3)=−4F(3) = -4, and F′(x)<0F'(x) < 0 for all x∈(1,3)x \in (1, 3). Let f(x)=xF(x)f(x) = xF(x) for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R}. The correct statement(s) is/are a. f′(1)<0f'(1) < 0 b. f(2)<0f(2) < 0 c. f′(x)≠0f'(x) \neq 0 for any x∈(1,3)x \in (1, 3) d. f′(x)=0f'(x) = 0 for some x∈(1,3)x \in (1, 3)
