Method of Differentiation — JEE Maths practice question

JEE Maths question with a full step-by-step solution.

Question
Let f:RRf:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} and g:RRg:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} be twice differentiable functions satisfying f(x)=g(x)f''(x) = g''(x), 2f(1)=g(1)=42f'(1) = g'(1) = 4, and 3f(2)=g(2)=93f(2) = g(2) = 9. Then the value of 15+f(4)g(4)15+f(4)-g(4) is equal to.
Solution
Answer: 5
Step 1: Integrate the condition f=gf'' = g''
f(x)=g(x)+c1    f(x)=g(x)+c1x+c2f'(x) = g'(x)+c_1 \implies f(x) = g(x)+c_1 x+c_2
Step 2: Determine c1c_1 From g(1)=4g'(1) = 4 and f(1)=2f'(1) = 2: c1=f(1)g(1)=2c_1 = f'(1)-g'(1) = -2. Step 3: Determine c2c_2 From f(2)=3f(2) = 3 and g(2)=9g(2) = 9:
c2=f(2)g(2)2c1=392(2)=2c_2 = f(2) - g(2) - 2c_1 = 3 - 9 - 2(-2) = -2
Step 4: Evaluate the expression
f(4)g(4)=c14+c2=82=10f(4)-g(4) = c_1\cdot 4+c_2 = -8-2 = -10
15+f(4)g(4)=1510=515+f(4)-g(4) = 15-10 = 5
