Letfxbe a polynomial of degree6inx,in which the coefficient ofx6is unity and it has extrema atx=-1andx=1. Iflimx0fxx3=1,then5·f2is equal to

Answer:
144.00
Solution:

Letfx=x6+ax5+bx4+cx3+dx2+ex+f

as limx0fxx3=1 non-zero finite

So, d=e=f=0

and fx=x3x3+ax2+bx+c

Hence, limx0fxx3=c=1

Now, as fx=x6+ax5+bx4+x3

and f'x=0 at x=1 and x=-1

i.e., f'x=6x5+5ax4+4bx3+3x2

f'1=0

6+5a+4b+3=0

5a+4b=-9

and f'-1=0

-6+5a-4b+3=0

5a-4b=3

Solving both we get,

a=-610=-35; b=-32

 fx=x6-35x5-32x4+x3

 5f2=564-35·32-32·16+8

=320-96-120+40

=144
