Question Number 163323 by ZiYangLee last updated on 06/Jan/22

Given the roots of the quadratic equation 4x^2 −4x+5=0 are α and β. f(x) is a quadratic function where f(α)=β , f(β)=α and f(0)=6 . Find f(x).

$$\mathrm{Given}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{roots}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{quadratic}\:\mathrm{equation} \\ $$$$\mathrm{4}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{5}=\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{are}\:\alpha\:\mathrm{and}\:\beta.\:\: \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{quadratic}\:\mathrm{function}\:\mathrm{where}\:{f}\left(\alpha\right)=\beta\:, \\ $$$${f}\left(\beta\right)=\alpha\:\mathrm{and}\:{f}\left(\mathrm{0}\right)=\mathrm{6}\:.\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{Find}\:{f}\left({x}\right). \\ $$

let f(x)= px^2 +qx+6 ⇒ { ((f(α)=pα^2 +qα+6=β)),((f(β)=pβ^2 +qβ+6=α)) :} (1)+(2)⇒p[(α+β)^2 −2αβ ]+q(α+β)+12=α+β ⇒p[ 1−(5/2) ]+q(1)+12=1 ⇒−(3/2)p+q=−11 ⇒−3p+2q=−22 ⇒q=((3p−22)/2) ∴ f(x)= px^2 +(((3p−22)/2))x+6

$${let}\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\:{px}^{\mathrm{2}} +{qx}+\mathrm{6}\: \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\begin{cases}{{f}\left(\alpha\right)={p}\alpha^{\mathrm{2}} +{q}\alpha+\mathrm{6}=\beta}\\{{f}\left(\beta\right)={p}\beta^{\mathrm{2}} +{q}\beta+\mathrm{6}=\alpha}\end{cases} \\ $$$$\:\left(\mathrm{1}\right)+\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\Rightarrow{p}\left[\left(\alpha+\beta\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}\alpha\beta\:\right]+{q}\left(\alpha+\beta\right)+\mathrm{12}=\alpha+\beta \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{p}\left[\:\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\right]+{q}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)+\mathrm{12}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}{p}+{q}=−\mathrm{11} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow−\mathrm{3}{p}+\mathrm{2}{q}=−\mathrm{22} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{q}=\frac{\mathrm{3}{p}−\mathrm{22}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\therefore\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\:{px}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}{p}−\mathrm{22}}{\mathrm{2}}\right){x}+\mathrm{6}\: \\ $$
