Q51 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (25 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

Consider the function fx=Pxsinx-2, x≠2, and fx=7, x=2where Px is a polynomial such that P"x is always a constant and P3=9. If fx is continuous at x=2, then P5 is equal to __________.

Correct answer: 39

Solution

We have, fx=Pxsinx-2,7,x≠2x=2

P"x= Constant

⇒Px is a 2 degree polynomial

Let Px=x-2ax+b

fx is continuous at x=2

f2+=f2-

Now, limx→2+Pxsinx-2=7

⇒limx→2+x-2ax+bsinx-2=7

⇒2a+b=7

⇒P3=3-23a+b=9

⇒3a+b=9

⇒a=2,b=3

Hence, P5=5-22.5+3

=3.13

=39.

Hence, the correct answer is 39.
