Letf(x)be a polynomial of degree3such thatfk=-2kfork=2, 3, 4, 5.Then the value of52-10 f(10)is equal to _____ .

Answer:
26.00
Solution:

Given that: kf(k)+2=0 for k=2,3,4,5 which means (k-2),(k-3),(k-4),(k-5) are the factors of this expression.

Let kf(k)+2=a(k-2)(k-3)(k-4)(k-5) ....(i)

Put k=0

2=a(-2)(-3)(-4)(-5)

a=160

Put a=160 in (i), we get

kf(k)+2=160(k-2)(k-3)(k-4)(k-5)

Now, put k=10

10f(10)+2=160×8×7×6×5

10 f(10)=26

So, 52-10 f(10)=26
