    Let \[f:R\to R\] be a function such that the third derivative of/(x) vanishes for all x. If \[f(0)=1,\,f'(2)=4\]and \[f'\,'(1)=2,\] then \[f(x)\] equals to

    A)  \[{{x}^{2}}+1\]           

    B)  \[{{x}^{2}}+2x+1\]

    C)  \[4x+1\]           

    D)  \[{{x}^{2}}-2x+1\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let \[f(x)=a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c\] ?..(i) Also, given \[f(0)=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[1=a\,{{(0)}^{2}}+b(0)+c\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[c=1\] ?.(ii) and \[f'(2)=4\] on differentiating Eq. (i), w. r. t. x, we get \[f'(x)=2ax+b\] ?..(iii) \[\Rightarrow \] \[f'(2)=2a\,(2)+b\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[4=4a+b\] ?..(iv) Again, differentiating Eq. (iii0, we get \[f''(x)=2a\] But \[f''(1)=2\] (given) \[\therefore \] \[f''(1)=2a\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[2=2a\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a=1\] On putting \[a=1\] in Eq. (iv), we get \[4=4+b\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[b=0\] On putting \[a=1,\,b=0\] and \[c=1\] in Eq. (i), we get \[f(x)={{x}^{2}}+1\]
