Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given, f(x)+f′(x)+f′′(x)=x5+64f(x) + f'(x) + f''(x) = {x^5} + 64 .........(i)

⇒f(x)\Rightarrow f(x) is a polynomial in xx whose degree is 5.

Let f(x)=x5+ax4+bx3+cx2+dx+ef(x) = {x^5} + a{x^4} + b{x^3} + c{x^2} + dx + e

f′(x)=5x4+4ax3+3bx2+2cx+df'(x) = 5{x^4} + 4a{x^3} + 3b{x^2} + 2cx + d

f′′(x)=20x3+12ax2+6bx+2cf''(x) = 20{x^3} + 12a{x^2} + 6bx + 2c

On substituting the value of f(x),f′(x)f(x), f^{\prime}(x) and f′′(x)f^{\prime \prime}(x) in Eq. (i), we get

x5+(a+5)x4+(b+4a+20)x3+(c+3b+12a)x2+(d+2c+6b)x+e+d+2c=x5+64{x^5}+(a + 5){x^4} + (b + 4a + 20){x^3} + (c + 3b + 12a){x^2} + (d + 2c + 6b)x + e + d + 2c = {x^5} + 64

Now, equating the coefficient, we get

⇒a+5=0\Rightarrow a + 5 = 0

b+4a+20=0b + 4a + 20 = 0

c+3b+12a=0c + 3b + 12a = 0

d+2c+6b=0d + 2c + 6b = 0

e+d+2c=64e + d + 2c = 64

∴\therefore a=−5, b=0, c=60, d=−120, e=64a = - 5,\,b = 0,\,c = 60,\,d = - 120,\,e = 64

∴\therefore f(x)=x5−5x4+60x2−120x+64f(x) = {x^5} - 5{x^4} + 60{x^2} - 120x + 64

Now, lim⁡x→1x5−5x4+60x2−120x+64x−1\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} {{{x^5} - 5{x^4} + 60{x^2} - 120x + 64} \over {x - 1}} is ( 00{0 \over 0} form)

By L' Hospital rule

lim⁡x→15x4−20x3+120x−1201\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} {{5{x^4} - 20{x^3} + 120x - 120} \over 1}

=−15= - 15
