Correct answer: A

  1. We are given that f(x)+f′(x)+f′′(x)=x5+64f(x)+f'(x)+f''(x)=x^5+64f(x)+f′(x)+f′′(x)=x5+64 and f(x)f(x)f(x) is a polynomial.

We need to find lim⁡x→1f(x)x−1.\lim_{x\to 1}\frac{f(x)}{x-1}.limx→1​x−1f(x)​.

  1. First, note that for this limit to be finite, we must have f(1)=0,f(1)=0,f(1)=0, so let us check whether this is true from the given relation.

Substitute x=1x=1x=1: f(1)+f′(1)+f′′(1)=15+64=65.f(1)+f'(1)+f''(1)=1^5+64=65.f(1)+f′(1)+f′′(1)=15+64=65. This alone does not directly give f(1)f(1)f(1), so we find the polynomial explicitly.

  1. Let f(x)=ax5+bx4+cx3+dx2+ex+g.f(x)=ax^5+bx^4+cx^3+dx^2+ex+g.f(x)=ax5+bx4+cx3+dx2+ex+g. Then, f′(x)=5ax4+4bx3+3cx2+2dx+e,f'(x)=5ax^4+4bx^3+3cx^2+2dx+e,f′(x)=5ax4+4bx3+3cx2+2dx+e, f′′(x)=20ax3+12bx2+6cx+2d.f''(x)=20ax^3+12bx^2+6cx+2d.f′′(x)=20ax3+12bx2+6cx+2d.

So, \begin{align*} f(x)+f'(x)+f''(x) &= ax^5 +(b+5a)x^4 +(c+4b+20a)x^3 \ &\quad +(d+3c+12b)x^2 +(e+2d+6c)x +(g+e+2d). \end{align*}

This must equal x5+64.x^5+64.x5+64.

  1. Compare coefficients:
  • Coefficient of x5x^5x5: a=1a=1a=1

  • Coefficient of x4x^4x4: b+5a=0  ⟹  b+5=0  ⟹  b=−5b+5a=0 \implies b+5=0 \implies b=-5b+5a=0⟹b+5=0⟹b=−5

  • Coefficient of x3x^3x3: c+4b+20a=0  ⟹  c+4(−5)+20=0  ⟹  c=0c+4b+20a=0 \implies c+4(-5)+20=0 \implies c=0c+4b+20a=0⟹c+4(−5)+20=0⟹c=0

  • Coefficient of x2x^2x2: d+3c+12b=0  ⟹  d+0+12(−5)=0  ⟹  d=60d+3c+12b=0 \implies d+0+12(-5)=0 \implies d=60d+3c+12b=0⟹d+0+12(−5)=0⟹d=60

  • Coefficient of xxx: e+2d+6c=0  ⟹  e+120+0=0  ⟹  e=−120e+2d+6c=0 \implies e+120+0=0 \implies e=-120e+2d+6c=0⟹e+120+0=0⟹e=−120

  • Constant term: g+e+2d=64  ⟹  g−120+120=64  ⟹  g=64g+e+2d=64 \implies g-120+120=64 \implies g=64g+e+2d=64⟹g−120+120=64⟹g=64

Hence, f(x)=x5−5x4+60x2−120x+64.f(x)=x^5-5x^4+60x^2-120x+64.f(x)=x5−5x4+60x2−120x+64.

  1. Now compute f(1)f(1)f(1): f(1)=1−5+60−120+64=0.f(1)=1-5+60-120+64=0.f(1)=1−5+60−120+64=0. So the limit becomes lim⁡x→1f(x)−f(1)x−1=f′(1).\lim_{x\to 1}\frac{f(x)-f(1)}{x-1}=f'(1).limx→1​x−1f(x)−f(1)​=f′(1).

  2. Differentiate: f′(x)=5x4−20x3+120x−120.f'(x)=5x^4-20x^3+120x-120.f′(x)=5x4−20x3+120x−120. Therefore, f′(1)=5−20+120−120=−15.f'(1)=5-20+120-120=-15.f′(1)=5−20+120−120=−15.

So, lim⁡x→1f(x)x−1=−15.\lim_{x\to 1}\frac{f(x)}{x-1}=-15.limx→1​x−1f(x)​=−15.

  1. Comparing with the options, the correct option is: A: −15\boxed{\text{A: }-15}A: −15​
