roots of g(x). Suppose S is the set of polynomials with real coefficients defined by

S = {(x2 – 1)2 (a0 + a1x + a2x2 + a3x3) : a0, a1, a2, a3  R}.

For a polynomial ƒ, let ƒ' and ƒ" denote its first and second order derivatives, respectively.
Then the minimum possible value of (m ƒ ' + m ƒ "), where f  S, is _______
[JEE 2020]
Ans. (5.00)
Sol. ƒ(x) = (x2 – 1)2 h(x); h(x)
= a0 + a1x + a2x2 + a3x3
Now, ƒ(1) = ƒ(–1) = 0
 ƒ'() = 0 ,   (–1, 1) [Rolle's Theorem]
Also, ƒ'(1) = ƒ'(–1) = 0  ƒ'(x) = 0 has at least 3 root, –1, , 1 with –1 <  < 1
 ƒ"(x) = 0 will have at least 2 root, say ,  such that
–1 <  <  <  < 1 [Rolle's Theorem]
So, min(mƒ'') = 2
and we find (mƒ' + mƒ'') = 5 for
ƒ(x) = (x2 – 1)2 h(x)
Thus, Ans. 5

48. Ans. 0.50
Sol. ƒ() = (sin + cos)2 + (sin – cos)4
ƒ() = sin2 – sin + 2
