Let f:R→R be a function satisfying fx+y=fx+2y2+kxy for all x,y∈R. If f1=2 and f2=8, then fx is equal to

  • Correct answer
    A
    2x2
  • B
    6x-4
  • C
    x2+3x-2
  • D
    -x2+9x-6

Solution

We have, fx+y=fx+2y2+kxy for all x,y∈R

⇒fx+y-fxy=2y+kx for all x∈R

⇒limy→0fx+y-fxy=limy→02y+kx

⇒f'x=kx for all x∈R

⇒fx=kx22+C for all x∈R  [by integration]

But f1=2 and f2=8

∴ 2=k2+C and 8=2k+C

k=4 and C=0

Hence, fx=2x2 for all x∈R

So, option (a) is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
