Let f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, g(x) = px2 + qx + r such that f(1) = g(1), f(2) = g(2) and f(3) - g(3) = 2. Then, f(4) - g(4) is

  • 4

  • 5

  • 6

  • 7

Given, f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, g(x) = px2 + qx + r 

Since f(1) = g(1)

 a + b + c = p +q + r           ...(i)

f(2) = g(2)

 4a +2b +c = 4p +2q + r     ...(ii)

Subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get

3a + b = 3p + q                      ...(iii)

f(3) - g(3) = 2

  9a +3b +c - 9p + 3q +r = 2  33a + b + c - 33p + q - r = 2                                             c - r = 2    ...iv

        3a +b = 3p +q

From Eq. (i),

 (a - p) + (b - q) + (c - r) = 0

    a - p + b - q + 2 = 0            ...(v)

From Eq. (ii),

4(a - p) + 2(b - q) + c - r = 0

 2a - p + b - q + 1 = 0            ...(vi)

Subtracting Eq.(v) from Eq. (vi), we get

(a - p) - 1 = 0

        a - p = 1

 From Eq. (v),

      b - q = - 3

Now,

f(4) - g(4) = (16a + 4b + c) - (16p + 4q + r)

               = 16(a - p) + 4(b - q) + (c - r)    ...(vii)

Substituting the values of (a - p), (b - q), (c - r) from above in Eq. (vii), we get

f(4) - g(4) = 16 × 1 + 4- 3 + 2

                = 16 - 12 + 2 = 6
