Q.

Let f : RR be a function defined by f(x)=(2+3a)x2+(a+2a1)x+b, a1. If f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)+127xy, then the value of 28i=15|f(i)| is         [2025]

1 675  
2 545  
3 735  
4 715  

Ans.

(1)

Given, f(x)=(2+3a)x2+(a+2a1)x+b, a1          ... (i)

Also, f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)+127xy          ... (ii)

Put x = y = 0 in (ii), we get

f(0) = f(0) + f(0) + 1 – 0  f(0) = –1          ... (iii)

Using (i), f(0) = b = –1

Put y = – x in (ii), we get

f(xx)=f(x)+f(x)+1+27x2

 1=(2+3a)x2+(a+2a1)x1+(2+3a)x2(a+2a1)x1+1+27x2

 (2(2+3a)+27)x2=0  a=57

  f(x)=17x234x1=128(4x2+21x+28)

Now, 28i=15|f(i)|=28[|f(1)|+|f(2)|+...+|f(5)|]

        =28×128[4(12+22+...+52)+21(1+2+...+5)+28(5)]

         = 675
