Let f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+41 be such that f(1)=40,f'(1)=2 and f''(1)=4. Then a2+b2+c2 is equal to [2024]
(4)
We have, f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+41
f(1)=40⇒a+b+c+41=40⇒a+b+c=-1 ...(i)
f'(1)=2⇒3a+2b+c=2 ...(ii)
Also, f''(x)=6ax+2b
f''(1)=4⇒6a+2b=4 ...(iii)
On solving (i), (ii), and (iii), we get a=-1, b=5, c=-5
∴ a2+b2+c2=1+25+25=51
