For real number $x$, if the minimum value of $f(x)=x^2+2 b x+2 c^2$ is greater than the maximum value of $g(x)=-x^2-2 c x+b^2$, then
  1. $c^2>2 b^2$
  2. $c^2 < 2 b^2$
  3. $b^2=2 c^2$
  4. $c^2=2 b^2$

Solution

We have, $ \begin{aligned} f(x) & =x^2+2 b x+2 x^2 \\ & =(x+b)^2+2 x^2-b^2 \end{aligned} $ $\therefore$ Minimum value of $ \begin{aligned} f(x) & =2 c^2-b^2 \\ g(x) & =-x^2-2 c x+b^2 \\ \left.x-b^2\right] & =-\left[(x+c)^2-b^2-c^2\right] \\ & =-(x+c)^2+b^2+c^2 \end{aligned} $ Again, $ \begin{aligned} =-\left[x^2+2 x-b^2\right] & =-\left[(x+c)^2-b^2-c^2\right] \\ & =-(x+c)^2+b^2+c^2 \end{aligned} $ $\therefore$ Maximum value of $ g(x)=b^2+c^2 $ Now, according to the question. $ 2 c^2-b^2>b^2+c^2 \Rightarrow c^2>2 b^2 $
