Paragraph:
Let be a function satisfying for all such that :Question:
If , then what is the value of ?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Given that and Now, $\sum_{x=2}^n f(x)=2044\begin{aligned}
& f(2)+f(3)+f(4)+\ldots+f(n)=2044 \\
& 4+8+16 \ldots(n-1) \text{ terms }=2044 \\
& \frac{4\left(2^{n-1}-1\right)}{2-1}=2044 \Rightarrow 2^{n-1}-1=511 \\
& \Rightarrow 2^{\mathrm{n}-1}=512=2^9 \\
& \Rightarrow n=10
\end{aligned}$$$
