Question

f:R→R,   f(x2+x+3)+2f(x2-3x+5)=6x2-10x+17  xR then the value of f(100) is 

Moderate
Solution

obviously f is a linear polynomial let f(x)=ax+b hence  f(x2+x+3)+2f(x2-3x+5)=6x2-10x+17   

a(x2+x+3)+b +2a(x2-3x+5)+b=6x2-10x+17 comparing the coefficient of x2 and constants 

a+2a=6       and       3a+b+10a+2b=17  

3a=6             and         13a+3b=17 a=2               and            26+3b=17                                         b=-3     f(x)=2x-3 f(100)=197
