Question

If the function f(x)=ax3+bx2+11x6,a,bR satisfies Rolle's theorem in [1,3] and f(2+13)=0, then the value of (ab) is

Solution

By Rolle’s theorem,
f(1)=f(3)
a+b+116=27a+9b+336
13a+4b+11=0

Now, f(x)=3ax2+2bx+11
Given, x=2+13 is a root of f(x)=0
Since coefficients are real, x=213 is another root.
Product of roots =113a=113
a=1
Sum of roots =2b3=4
b=6
ab=1+6=7
