If x 4 ( x - 1 ) ( x - 2 ) = f ( x ) + A x - 1 + B x - 2 , then

If x4(x-1)(x-2)=f(x)+Ax-1+Bx-2, then
  1. f(x)=x23x+7

  2. f(x)=x2+3x+7
  3. A+B=17
  4. AB=18

Solution

Given x4(x-1)(x-2)=f(x)+Ax-1+Bx-2

x4(x-1)(x-2)=f(x)x-1x-2+Ax-2+Bx-1x-1x-2

x4=f(x)x-1x-2+Ax-2+Bx-1

On putting x=1, we get A=-1

On putting x=2, we get B=16

Then, x4=f(x)x-1x-2-x-2+16x-1

x4-16x+16+x-2=f(x)x-1x-2

f(x)=x4-15x+14x-1x-2

On adding and Subtracting x2, we get

f(x)=x4-15x+14+x2-x2x-1x-2=x4-x2-12x+12+x2-3x+2x2-3x+2

f(x)=x4-x2-12x+12x2-3x+2+1

f(x)=x-1x3+x2-12x-1x-2+1

f(x)=x3+x2+x-14x-2

f(x)=x2+3x+7
