A poly nomial of degree 3 as shown in figure and Gradient at Q is 3.

on the basis of above in formation...

1-the polynomial f(x) is givem by...

a)-1/2 x^3 -3/4 x^2 +3x +5

b)-1/2 x^3 +3x+5

c)-1/2 x^3- 3/4 x^2 + 5

d)-1/2 x^3+3/4 x^2 -3x+5

 

2-the value of f(2)...

a)2    b)4   c)6     d)8

 

3)the no. of solution of |f(|x|)|-3=0 is...

a)2     b)3    c)4      d)5

 

4)the equation of normal at R is....

a)6x-81y-15=0

b)8x-81y-20=0

c)2x-81y-5=0

d)4x-81y-10=0

 

5)the equation of tangent...........................?..........

 

 

 

please give solution or hint..

RATES assured.....

f(x)=ax^3 +bx^2 +cx +d

 

f(0)=5

 

=> 0+0+0+d=5

 

then, ax^3 +bx^2 +cx +5

 

f'(x)=3ax^2 + 2bx + c

 

f'(-2)=12a-4b+c =0................................................(1)

 

 

here, f(x) passws through (-2, 0)

 

then , 0=-8a+4b-2c+5............................................(2)

 

and f'(0)=3...c=3

 

from eq(1)....12a-4b+3=0.........................(3)

 

from eq(2).....-8a+4b-1=0...............................(4)

 

from(3)and (4)

 

we get..

 

a=-1/2   , b= -3/4

 

hence f(x)=-1/2 x3 + -3/4 x2 + 3x + 5

since gradient at Q is 3

hence dy/dx at 5  = 3

also f(-2)  = 0

also tangent at -2 is x axis

hence f'(-x)  = 0

solving these we have ans of 1

once we have ploynomial tangent and normal can be found out using dy/dx

and for solution of | f(x) - 3 | draw the graph we have 4 solutions ( unable to post it due to slow speed )

point R is ( 5/2 , 0)

 

hence my answers are

1  a

2  b

3  c

4  b

5  equation of tangent at R ( 5/2,0)   =  8y = -81x + 405/2..
