Let a ,   b ,   c ∈ R . If f x = a x 2 + b x + c is such that a + b + c = 3 and f x + y = f…

Let a, b, cR . If fx=ax2+bx+c is such that a+b+c=3 and fx+y=fx+fy+xy,  x, yR , then n=1 10 f(n) is equal to:
  1. 330
  2. 165
  3. 190
  4. 255

Solution

Given, fx+y=fx+fy+xy  x, yR

Put y=1, we get

fx+1=fx+f1+x

fx+1-fx=3+x

On taking Sigma on both sides

 x=1n-1fx+1-fx=x=1n-13+x

f2-f1+f3-f2+f4-f3+f5-f4+......+fn-fn-1

=3n-1+n-1n2

fn-f1=3n-1+n-1n2

fn-3=3n-1+n-1n2

fn=n22+5n2

Again taking Sigma on both the sides 

n=110fn=n=110n22+5n2

n=110fn=12.10.11.216+52.10.112

n=110fn=330.
