Method of Differentiation — JEE Maths practice question

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

Question
If f(x)=x3+x2f(1)+xf(2)f(3)f(x) = x^3 + x^2 f'(1) + x f''(2) - f'''(3) for all xRx \in \mathbb{R}, then f(0)+f(3)+16|f(0)+f(3)+16| is.
Solution
Answer: 8
Step 1: Set up the unknowns Let A=f(1)A = f'(1), B=f(2)B = f''(2), C=f(3)C = f'''(3). Then f(x)=x3+Ax2+BxCf(x) = x^3+Ax^2+Bx-C. Since f(x)=6f'''(x) = 6, we get C=6C = 6. Step 2: Determine AA and BB f(x)=3x2+2Ax+Bf'(x) = 3x^2+2Ax+B. From f(1)=Af'(1) = A:
3+2A+B=A    A+B=3(1)3+2A+B = A \implies A+B = -3 \quad \cdots (1)
f(x)=6x+2Af''(x) = 6x+2A. From f(2)=Bf''(2) = B:
12+2A=B(2)12+2A = B \quad \cdots (2)
From (1)(1) and (2)(2): A=5A = -5, B=2B = 2. Step 3: Evaluate the expression
f(x)=x35x2+2x6f(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 + 2x - 6
f(0)=6,f(3)=2745+66=18f(0) = -6, \quad f(3) = 27 - 45 + 6 - 6 = -18
f(0)+f(3)+16=618+16=8=8|f(0)+f(3)+16| = |-6-18+16| = |-8| = 8
