Consider the function 
=7, x=2
Where P(x) is a polynomial such that P”(x) is always a constant and P(3)=9. If f(x) is continuous at x=2, then P(5) is equal to ___
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
39
(39)
P′′(x) = const. ⇒ P(x) is a 2 degree polynomial
f(x) is cont. at x=2
P(x) = (x − 2)(ax + b)
P(3) = (3 − 2)(3a + b) = 9 ⇒ 3a + b = 9
