Q.

Let f(x)=3x-2+4-x be a real valued function. If α and β are respectively the minimum and the maximum values of f, then α2+2β2 is equal to              [2024]

1 42  
2 44  
3 24  
4 38  

Ans.

(1)

f(x)=3x-2+4-x

f'(x)=32x-2-124-x

     f'(x)=09(4-x)=(x-2)x=195[2,4]

Now, f(2)=2, f(195)=25, f(4)=32

    α=2, β=25α2+2β2=2+40=42
