Correct answer: B

  1. We are given a polynomial fff such that f(3x)=f′(x) f′′(x)for all x∈R.f(3x)=f'(x)\,f''(x) \qquad \text{for all } x\in\mathbb R.f(3x)=f′(x)f′′(x)for all x∈R.

    We must determine which option is correct.

  2. Let the degree of fff be nnn.

    • Then f(3x)f(3x)f(3x) is also a polynomial of degree nnn.
    • f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) has degree n−1n-1n−1.
    • f′′(x)f''(x)f′′(x) has degree n−2n-2n−2.
    • So f′(x)f′′(x)f'(x)f''(x)f′(x)f′′(x) has degree (n−1)+(n−2)=2n−3.(n-1)+(n-2)=2n-3.(n−1)+(n−2)=2n−3.

    Since f(3x)=f′(x)f′′(x),f(3x)=f'(x)f''(x),f(3x)=f′(x)f′′(x), the degrees must be equal: n=2n−3  ⟹  n=3.n=2n-3 \implies n=3.n=2n−3⟹n=3.

    Hence fff is a cubic polynomial.

  3. Let f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+d,a≠0.f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d, \qquad a\neq 0.f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+d,a=0.

    Then f′(x)=3ax2+2bx+c,f'(x)=3ax^2+2bx+c,f′(x)=3ax2+2bx+c, f′′(x)=6ax+2b.f''(x)=6ax+2b.f′′(x)=6ax+2b.

    Also, f(3x)=a(3x)3+b(3x)2+c(3x)+d=27ax3+9bx2+3cx+d.f(3x)=a(3x)^3+b(3x)^2+c(3x)+d=27ax^3+9bx^2+3cx+d.f(3x)=a(3x)3+b(3x)2+c(3x)+d=27ax3+9bx2+3cx+d.

  4. Now compute f′(x)f′′(x)f'(x)f''(x)f′(x)f′′(x): \begin{align*} f'(x)f''(x) &= (3ax^2+2bx+c)(6ax+2b) \ &= 18a^2x^3 + 6abx^2 + 12abx^2 + 4b^2x + 6acx + 2bc \ &= 18a^2x^3 + 18abx^2 + (4b^2+6ac)x + 2bc. \end{align*}

  5. Compare coefficients of 27ax3+9bx2+3cx+d=18a2x3+18abx2+(4b2+6ac)x+2bc.27ax^3+9bx^2+3cx+d = 18a^2x^3 + 18abx^2 + (4b^2+6ac)x + 2bc.27ax3+9bx2+3cx+d=18a2x3+18abx2+(4b2+6ac)x+2bc.

    Equating coefficients:

    • Coefficient of x3x^3x3: 27a=18a2.27a=18a^2.27a=18a2. Since a≠0a\neq 0a=0, 27=18a  ⟹  a=32.27=18a \implies a=\frac{3}{2}.27=18a⟹a=23​.

    • Coefficient of x2x^2x2: 9b=18ab.9b=18ab.9b=18ab. Substitute a=32a=\frac32a=23​: 9b=18⋅32 b=27b.9b=18\cdot \frac32\, b = 27b.9b=18⋅23​b=27b. Hence 18b=0  ⟹  b=0.18b=0 \implies b=0.18b=0⟹b=0.

    • Coefficient of xxx: 3c=4b2+6ac.3c=4b^2+6ac.3c=4b2+6ac. With b=0b=0b=0 and a=32a=\frac32a=23​, 3c=0+6⋅32 c=9c.3c=0+6\cdot\frac32\,c=9c.3c=0+6⋅23​c=9c. So 6c=0  ⟹  c=0.6c=0 \implies c=0.6c=0⟹c=0.

    • Constant term: d=2bc=0.d=2bc=0.d=2bc=0. Hence d=0.d=0.d=0.

  6. Therefore, f(x)=32x3.f(x)=\frac32 x^3.f(x)=23​x3.

    Then

    \qquad f''(x)=9x.$$
  7. Evaluate at x=2x=2x=2: f(2)=32(8)=12,f(2)=\frac32(8)=12,f(2)=23​(8)=12, f′(2)=92(4)=18,f'(2)=\frac92(4)=18,f′(2)=29​(4)=18, f′′(2)=9(2)=18.f''(2)=9(2)=18.f′′(2)=9(2)=18.

  8. Check the options:

    • A: f(2)+f′(2)=12+18=30≠28f(2)+f'(2)=12+18=30\neq 28f(2)+f′(2)=12+18=30=28 → False
    • B: f′′(2)−f′(2)=18−18=0f''(2)-f'(2)=18-18=0f′′(2)−f′(2)=18−18=0 → True
    • C: f′′(2)−f(2)=18−12=6≠4f''(2)-f(2)=18-12=6\neq 4f′′(2)−f(2)=18−12=6=4 → False
    • D: f(2)−f′(2)+f′′(2)=12−18+18=12≠10f(2)-f'(2)+f''(2)=12-18+18=12\neq 10f(2)−f′(2)+f′′(2)=12−18+18=12=10 → False
  9. Hence the correct option is B.\boxed{\text{B}}.B​.
