Let f : ℝ ℝ be a polynomial function of degree four having extreme values at x = 4 and x = 5. If , then f(2) is equal to :
- A8
- B10
- C12
- D14
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Since is a polynomial of degree and has extreme values at and , we must have
-
Also, is degree , so is degree . Hence we can write for some constants and .
-
Now use the limit condition: For this limit to exist and be finite, we need Also, since for to have a finite limit, we must also have Then the limit equals
-
Since , and , substituting gives Because , we get So,
-
Expand: Thus
-
Differentiate to get : Hence But from step 3, , so
-
Therefore, Integrate:
