If f (x)=3 x^2+2 x f ^ (1)+ f ^ (2) , then f (x)= ______
Options
- A3 x^2+8 x+4
- B3 x^2+12 x+12
- C3 x^2-12 x+6
- D3 x^2-18 x+5
Correct answer
C. 3 x^2-12 x+6
Step-by-step solution
Given the function f (x)=3x^2+2x f ^ (1)+ f ^ (2) , the derivative terms are constants since they are evaluated at specific points. Define A = f ^ (1) and B = f ^ (2) , thus f (x) = 3x^2 + 2A x + B . Differentiating yields f ^ (x) = 6x + 2A and further, f ^ (x) = 6 . From f ^ (x) = 6 , it follows that B = 6 . Substituting x=1 into f ^ (x) gives A = 6(1) + 2A , leading to A = -6 . The function becomes f (x) = 3x^2 - 12x + 6 , which corresponds to option C. C
