Let f(x)= | array ccc x & x & 1 2 x & x & 2 x x & x & x array | . Then, _ x 0 f(x) x^2 is
Options
- A-1
- B0
- C3
- D2
Correct answer
B. 0
Step-by-step solution
f(x)= | array ccc x & x & 1 2 x & x & 2 x x & x & x array | array r = x (x^2-2 x^2 )-x(2 x x-2 x x) +1(2 x x-x x) array =-x^2 x+x x Now, _ x 0 f(x) x^2 = _ x 0 ( -x^2 x+x x x^2 )= _ x 0 (- x+ x x )=-1+1 [ _ x 0 x x =1 ]=0
