Let f be a polynomial function such that f (3x) = f ' (x) . f '' (x), for all x R. Then :
- Af (2) + f ' (2) = 28
- Bf '' (2) f ' (2) = 0
- Cf '' (2) f (2) = 4
- Df (2) f ' (2) + f '' (2) = 10

Correct answer: B
-
We are given a polynomial such that
We must determine which option is correct.
-
Let the degree of be .
- Then is also a polynomial of degree .
- has degree .
- has degree .
- So has degree
Since the degrees must be equal:
Hence is a cubic polynomial.
-
Let
Then
Also,
-
Now compute : \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*}
