Let f ( x ) = 2 x ^ n + λ, λ ∈ ℝ, n ∈ ℕ , and f ( 4 ) = 133 , f ( 5...

Let f(x)=2xn+λ,λ∈R,n∈Nf ( x ) = 2{x}^{n} + \lambda, \lambda \in \mathbb{R}, n \in \mathbb{N}, and f(4)=133f ( 4 ) = 133, f(5)=255f ( 5 ) = 255. Then the sum of all the positive integer divisors of (f(3)−f(2))( f ( 3 ) - f ( 2 ) ) is

Options

  1. A6161
  2. B6060
  3. C5858
  4. D5959

Correct answer

B. 6060

Step-by-step solution

f(x)f ( x ) is given as

f(x)=2xn+λ,λ∈R,n∈Nf ( x ) = 2{x}^{n} + \lambda, \lambda \in R, n \in N

∵f(4)=133∵ f ( 4 ) = 133

⇒133=2×4n+λ...(1)⇒ 133 = 2 \times {4}^{n} + \lambda . . . ( 1 )

∵f(5)=255∵ f ( 5 ) = 255

⇒255=2×5n+λ...(2)⇒ 255 = 2 \times {5}^{n} + \lambda . . . ( 2 )

Now, (2)−(1)( 2 ) - ( 1 )

122=2(5n−4n)122 = 2\left({5}^{n} - {4}^{n}\right)

⇒5n−4n=61⇒ {5}^{n} - {4}^{n} = 61

∴n=3 and λ=5∴ n = 3 \text{ and } \lambda = 5

Now f(3)−f(2)=2(33−23)=38f ( 3 ) - f ( 2 ) = 2\left({3}^{3} - {2}^{3}\right) = 38

Number of divisors =1,2,19,38= 1, 2, 19, 38 and their sum is 6060
