let \(a, b, c\) be real numbers such that \(2 a+3 b+6 c=0\) and \(g(x) \equiv a x^2+b x+c=0\) has atleast one root in the interval \((1,2)\). If a function \(f:[1,2] \rightarrow R\) for which Rolle's mean value theorem holds is such that \(f(x)\) is a primitive of \(g(x)\), then \(f(x)=\)
  1. \(x^3-3 x^2+2 x\)
  2. \(3 x^3-6 x^2+2 x\)
  3. \(12 x^3-14 x^2+3 x\)
  4. \(3 x^3-x\)

Solution

Given, \(2 a+3 b+6 c=0\)...(i) and \(g(x)=a x^2+b x+c=0\) According to given information, \(\begin{aligned} & f(x)=\int g(x) d x=\int\left(a x^2+b x+c\right) d x \\ & f(x)=\frac{a}{3} x^3+\frac{b}{2} x^2+c x \end{aligned}\) \(\begin{aligned} \text{Now, } f(2) & =\frac{a}{3}(2)^3+\frac{b}{2}(2)^2+c(2) \\ & =\frac{8}{3} a+2 b+2 c \quad \ldots (ii) \end{aligned}\) \(\begin{aligned} \text{and } f(\mathrm{l}) & =\frac{a}{3}(\mathrm{l})^3+\frac{b}{2}(\mathrm{l})^2+c(\mathrm{l}) \\ & =\frac{a}{3}+\frac{b}{2}+c \quad \ldots (iii) \end{aligned}\) Here, \(f(2)=f(1)\) \(\frac{8}{3} a+2 b+2 c=\frac{a}{3}+\frac{b}{2}+c\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 14 a+9 b+6 c=0\)...(iv) By solving Eqs. (i) and (iv), we get \(\begin{aligned} a & =3, b=-6 \text { and } c=2 \\ \therefore \quad f(x) & =\frac{3}{3} x^3-\frac{6}{2} x^2+2 x=x^3-3 x^2+2 x \end{aligned}\)
