Let f (x) be a polynomial of degree four having extreme values at x =1 an x =2. If limit as straight x rightwards arrow 0 of open square brackets 1 plus fraction numerator straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis over denominator straight x squared end fraction close square brackets space equals space 3 comma then f(2) is equal to 

  • -8

  • -4

  • 0

  • 4

Solution

C.

0

Any function have extreme values (maximum and minimum) at its critical points, where f'(x)= 0
Since, the function have extreme values at x =1 and x=2
therefore, f'(x) = 0 at x =1 and x= 2
⇒ f'(1) = 0 and f'(2) = 0
Also, it is given that
straight l im with straight x rightwards arrow 0 below space open square brackets 1 plus fraction numerator straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis over denominator straight x squared end fraction close square brackets space equals space 3
rightwards double arrow 1 plus limit as straight x space rightwards arrow 0 of fraction numerator straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis over denominator straight x squared end fraction space equals space 3
rightwards double arrow space limit as straight x rightwards arrow 0 of space fraction numerator straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis over denominator straight x squared end fraction space equals space 2
⇒ f(x) will be of the form
ax4  + bx3 + 2x4
f(x) is four degree polynomial]
Let f(x) = ax4 +bx3 +2x2
⇒ f'(x) = 4ax3 + 3bx2+ 4x
⇒ f'(1) = 4a +3b+4 = 0
and f'(2)  32a + 12b +8 = 0
⇒ 8a + 3b + 2 = 0
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
a = 1/2, b = -2
straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis space space equals space straight x to the power of 4 over 2 space minus space 2 straight x cubed space plus 2 straight x squared
f(2) = 8 - 16 +8 = 0
