If ∫ 2 x 2 + 5 x 2 + a d x = f x , where f x is a polynomial or ratio of polynomials, then the number of possible value(s) of a is equal to
Options
- A0
- B1
- C2
- D3
Correct answer
C. 2
Step-by-step solution
f x = ∫ 2 x 2 + a + 5 - 2 a x 2 + a d x = 2 x + 5 - 2 a ∫ d x x 2 + a If f x is polynomial, a = 5 2 If f x is ratio of polynomials, a = 0 Therefore, the possible values of a is 2 .
