Q.

Let f(x)=0xt(t29t+20)dt, 1x5. If the range of f is [α,β], then 4(α+β) equals :          [2025]

1 253  
2 154  
3 157  
4 125  

Ans.

(3)

We have, f(x)=0xt(t29t+20)dt

f'(x)=x39x2+20x=x(x4)(x5)

Where 1x5

On integration, we get

f(x)=x449x33+20x22

             =x443x3+10x2, where 1x5

  f(1)=143+10=294=α

         f(4)=(4)443(4)3+10(4)2=32=β

         f(5)=(5)443(5)3+10(5)2=1254

  4(α+β)=4(294+32)=157
