The values of b and c for which the identity $\mathrm{f}(x+1)-\mathrm{f}(x)=8 x+3$ is satisfied, where $\mathrm{f}(x)=\mathrm{b} x^2+\mathrm{c} x+\mathrm{d}$, are
- A$b=2, c=1$
- Correct answerB$b=4, c=-1$
- C$b=1, c=2$
- D$b=3, c=-1$
Solution
Given $f(x) = bx^2 + cx + d$, determine $b$ and $c$ such that $f(x+1) - f(x) = 8x + 3$.
Compute $f(x+1)$ by substitution:
$f(x+1) = b(x+1)^2 + c(x+1) + d = b(x^2 + 2x + 1) + cx + c + d = bx^2 + (2b + c)x + (b + c + d)$
The difference simplifies to:
$f(x+1) - f(x) = [bx^2 + (2b + c)x + (b + c + d)] - [bx^2 + cx + d] = 2bx + (b + c)$
Set equal to the given expression:
$2bx + (b + c) = 8x + 3$
Equating coefficients yields:
$2b = 8 \implies b = 4$
$b + c = 3 \implies 4 + c = 3 \implies c = -1$
The values $b = 4$, $c = -1$ correspond to option B.
The solution is $\boxed{\text{B}}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
