Let $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function defined by
$f(x)=(2+3 a) x^2+\left(\frac{a+2}{a-1}\right) x+b, a \neq 1 . \text { If }$
$f(x+\mathrm{y})=f(x)+f(\mathrm{y})+1-\frac{2}{7} x \mathrm{y}$, then the value of $28 \sum_{i=1}^5|f(i)|$ is
  1. 545
  2. 715
  3. 735
  4. 675

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Put } y=0 \\ & f(x)=f(0)+f(x)+1-0 \\ & f(0)=-1 \\ & f(0)=0+0+b \\ & \Rightarrow b=-1 \\ & f(-1+1)=f(-1)+f(1)+1+\frac{2}{7} \\ & f(0)=f(-1)+f(1)+\frac{9}{7}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}-1=(2+3 a)+\left(\frac{a+2}{a-1}\right)(-1)+b+(2+3 a) & \\ & +\frac{a+2}{a-1}+b+\frac{9}{7}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & -1=4+6 a-2+\frac{9}{7} \\ & -1=2+\frac{9}{7}+6 a \\ & 6 a=-1-2-\frac{9}{7} \\ & a=\frac{-5}{7} \\ & f(x)=\frac{-x^2}{7}+\frac{\frac{9}{7}}{\frac{-12}{7}} x-1 \\ & f(x)=\frac{-x^2}{7}-\frac{3}{4} x-1 \\ & \sum_{i=1}^5 f(i)=-\frac{1}{7}\left(\frac{5 \times 6 \times 11}{6}\right)-\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{5 \times 6}{2}\right)-5 \\ & =\frac{-55}{7}-\frac{45}{4}-5 \\ & =\frac{675}{28} \\ & \Rightarrow 28\left|\sum_{i-1}^5 f(i)\right|=675\end{aligned}$
