Let P(x) = x2 + bx + c be a quadratic polynomial with real coefficients such that ∫01P (x)dx=1 and P(x) leaves remainder 5 when it is divided by (x – 2). Then the value of 9 (b+c) is equal to :
7
11
15
9
Explanation for the correct option.
Finding the value of 9 (b+c) :
Given that,
∫01P (x)dx=1
So,
∫01x2+bx+cdx=1 [∵Given Px=x2+bx+c]⇒ 13+b2+c=1⇒ b2+c=23 ⇒ 3b+6c=4 ...1
Now, given that P2=5
P2=5⇒22+2b+c=5⇒ 4+2b+c=5⇒ 2b+c=1 ...2
Now from the equation 1 and 2 we get,
b=29 and c=59
Now substituting these values in 9 (b+c) we get,
9 (b+c)=929+59=979=7
Therefore, the correct answer is option (A).
If the expression ax2+bx+c is equal to 4, when x=0, leave the remainder 4 when divided by x+1 and leaves a remainder 6 when divided by x+2, then the values of a, b and c are respectively,
