NDA2019MathematicsQuadratic EquationActual
Which one of the following is the second degree polynomial function f(x) where f(0)=5, f(-1)=10 and f(1)=6 ?
Options
- A5 x^2-2 x+5
- B3 x^2-2 x-5
- C3 x^2-2 x+5
- D3 x^2-10 x+5
Correct answer
B. 3 x^2-2 x-5
Step-by-step solution
aligned & f(x)=a x^2+b x+c & f(0)=5 c=5 (i) & f(-1)=10 a-b=5 (ii) & f(1)=6 a+b=6 (iii) aligned from (ii) & (iii) we get, a=3b=-2 quadratic equation is 3 x^2-2 x+5=0
