f ( x ) = 3 + m x + n 3 1 + x 2 f(x)=3+\frac{mx+n-3}{1+x^2} for f ( x ) f(x) to lie in [ 4 , 3 ) [-4,3) , m x + n 3 0 x R mx+n-3\leq0\quad \forall x\in\text{R} m = 0 & n < 3 \therefore \boxed{m=0} \text{ \& } \boxed{n\lt 3} as x ± ; f ( x ) 3 \text{as }x\rightarrow\pm\infty \text{ ; }f(x)\rightarrow 3

which means the other extreme of f f lies in between & + -\infty \text{ \& } +\infty , where f ( x ) = 0 f'(x)=0

f ( x ) = 0 2 x ( n 3 ) = 0 x = 0 f'(x)=0\Rightarrow 2x(n-3)=0\Rightarrow x=0 f ( 0 ) = 4 n = 4 \therefore f(0)=-4 \Rightarrow \boxed{n=-4} thus, m 2 + n 2 4 = 4 \text{ thus, }\frac{m^2+n^2}{4}=4
