Correct answer

C. 5656

Step-by-step solution

Let the degree of the polynomial f(x)f(x) be nn.

The degree of f′(x)f'(x) is n−1n-1 and the degree of f′′(x)f''(x) is n−2n-2.

Since f(x)=f′(x)f′′(x)f(x) = f'(x) f''(x), equating the degrees on both sides gives:

n=(n−1)+(n−2)⇒n=3n = (n-1) + (n-2) \Rightarrow n = 3

Let f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+df(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d.

Given f(0)=0f(0) = 0, we get d=0d = 0. Thus, f(x)=ax3+bx2+cxf(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx.

Differentiating f(x)f(x) with respect to xx:

f′(x)=3ax2+2bx+cf'(x) = 3ax^2 + 2bx + c

f′′(x)=6ax+2bf''(x) = 6ax + 2b

Substituting these into the given equation f(x)=f′(x)f′′(x)f(x) = f'(x) f''(x):

ax3+bx2+cx=(3ax2+2bx+c)(6ax+2b)ax^3 + bx^2 + cx = (3ax^2 + 2bx + c)(6ax + 2b)

ax3+bx2+cx=18a2x3+18abx2+(4b2+6ac)x+2bcax^3 + bx^2 + cx = 18a^2x^3 + 18abx^2 + (4b^2 + 6ac)x + 2bc

Comparing the coefficients of corresponding powers of xx:

For x3x^3: a=18a2⇒a=118a = 18a^2 \Rightarrow a = \dfrac{1}{18} (since a≠0a \neq 0 for a cubic polynomial)

For the constant term: 0=2bc0 = 2bc

For xx: c=4b2+6acc = 4b^2 + 6ac

Substituting a=118a = \dfrac{1}{18} into the xx coefficient equation:

c=4b2+c3⇒2c3=4b2⇒c=6b2c = 4b^2 + \dfrac{c}{3} \Rightarrow \dfrac{2c}{3} = 4b^2 \Rightarrow c = 6b^2

From 0=2bc0 = 2bc, either b=0b = 0 or c=0c = 0. In either case, since c=6b2c = 6b^2, we get b=0b = 0 and c=0c = 0.

Thus, the polynomial is f(x)=118x3f(x) = \dfrac{1}{18}x^3.

Now, finding the required values:

f′(x)=16x2⇒f′(2)=46=23f'(x) = \dfrac{1}{6}x^2 \Rightarrow f'(2) = \dfrac{4}{6} = \dfrac{2}{3}

f′′(x)=13x⇒f′′(2)=23f''(x) = \dfrac{1}{3}x \Rightarrow f''(2) = \dfrac{2}{3}

∫02f(x) dx=∫02118x3 dx=118[x44]02=1672=29\int_0^2 f(x)\,dx = \int_0^2 \dfrac{1}{18}x^3\,dx = \dfrac{1}{18} \left[ \dfrac{x^4}{4} \right]_0^2 = \dfrac{16}{72} = \dfrac{2}{9}

Substituting these into the given expression:

36(f′(2)+f′′(2)+∫02f(x) dx)=36(23+23+29)36\left(f'(2) + f''(2) + \int_0^2 f(x)\,dx\right) = 36\left(\dfrac{2}{3} + \dfrac{2}{3} + \dfrac{2}{9}\right)

=36(43+29)=36(149)=4×14=56= 36\left(\dfrac{4}{3} + \dfrac{2}{9}\right) = 36\left(\dfrac{14}{9}\right) = 4 \times 14 = 56
