Question

Let f(x) be a polynomial of degree 6, which satisfies limx0(1+f(x)x3)1x=e2 has local maximum at x=1 and local minimum at x=0 and 2, then 5f(3)4 is

Solution

The given limit exists only if f(x) will be as following:
f(x)=ax4+bx5+cx6
limx0(1+f(x)x3)1x=e2
limx0(1+ax+bx2+cx3)1x=e2
limx0(1+ax)1x=e2
ea=e2
a=2
Thus f(x)=2x4+bx5+cx6f(x)=x3(8+5bx+6cx2)
Since f(x) has local extremum at x=0,1,2.
So, f(0)=f(1)=f(2)=0
c=23,b=125
Hence f(x)=2x4125x5+23x6
f(3)=3245
5f(3)4=81
