JEE Advanced Calculus problem

Calculus Level 5

Determine f ( x ) = a x 2 + b x + c f(x) = ax^2+bx+c , where a > 0 a > 0 , whose roots are ϕ 1 \phi_1 and ϕ 2 \phi_2 where 0 < ϕ 2 < ϕ 1 0 < \phi_2 < \phi_1

If, for some real value α < β \alpha < \beta where α + β = 5 \alpha+\beta = 5 , 0 α f ( x ) d x = 0 \displaystyle\int_{0}^{\alpha}f(x)dx = 0 and 0 ϕ 1 f ( x ) d x + ϕ 2 β f ( x ) d x = ϕ 1 ϕ 2 f ( x ) d x \int_{0}^{\phi_1}f(x)dx+\int_{\phi_2}^{\beta}f(x)dx=|\int_{\phi_1}^{\phi_2}f(x)dx| The value of x x such that f ( x ) f(x) is minimum can be written in the form of p q \displaystyle\frac{p}{q} , where p p and q q are coprime. Find p + q p+q


Original Question -Also note that alpha is less than beta.

  • The answer will be in form of p q \frac{p}{q} .

  • Find p+q.


The answer is 8.

You said phi1 > phi2 And then i wonder how come it reached level 5.

i am getting -5/3 thats why i am getting -2this is because phi2<phi1 thats why the modulus will be opened as negative

How did you do it pls send soln

i was such an idiot. i got the answer. i have to submit p+q. i submitted p/q. then i saw a message the answer is integer. then i thought i was wrong.very sad.

The question says phi1>phi2, but the solution says phi1<phi2. It makes a difference.

Yeah I forgot about the order of them now that I rechecked it seems weird

If it was otherwise I think there will be a contradiction and we will get a negative number for the absolute value
