The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will start with the given function and the conditions provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the function**: We have the function \( f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c \). 2. **Use the condition \( f(1) = f(-1) \)**: Calculate \( f(1) \) and \( f(-1) \): \[ f(1) = a(1)^2 + b(1) + c = a + b + c \] \[ f(-1) = a(-1)^2 + b(-1) + c = a - b + c \] Setting these equal gives: \[ a + b + c = a - b + c \] Simplifying this, we can cancel \( a \) and \( c \): \[ b + b = 0 \implies 2b = 0 \implies b = 0 \] 3. **Substituting \( b \) into the function**: Now, substituting \( b = 0 \) into the function, we have: \[ f(x) = ax^2 + c \] 4. **Use the condition that \( a, b, c \) are in Arithmetic Progression (AP)**: Since \( a, b, c \) are in AP, we have: \[ 2b = a + c \] Substituting \( b = 0 \): \[ 0 = a + c \implies c = -a \] 5. **Rewrite the function**: Now the function becomes: \[ f(x) = ax^2 - a = a(x^2 - 1) \] 6. **Find the derivative of the function**: The derivative \( f'(x) \) is: \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(ax^2 - a) = 2ax \] 7. **Evaluate the derivatives at \( a, b, c \)**: - For \( f'(a) \): \[ f'(a) = 2a \cdot a = 2a^2 \] - For \( f'(b) \) (since \( b = 0 \)): \[ f'(0) = 2a \cdot 0 = 0 \] - For \( f'(c) \) (since \( c = -a \)): \[ f'(-a) = 2a \cdot (-a) = -2a^2 \] 8. **Summarize the results**: We have: \[ f'(a) = 2a^2, \quad f'(b) = 0, \quad f'(c) = -2a^2 \] 9. **Check if \( f'(a), f'(b), f'(c) \) are in AP**: The values are \( 2a^2, 0, -2a^2 \). To check if they are in AP, we need to verify: \[ 2 \cdot 0 = 2a^2 + (-2a^2) \implies 0 = 0 \] This confirms that \( f'(a), f'(b), f'(c) \) are in AP. ### Final Answer: Thus, \( f'(a), f'(b), f'(c) \) are \( 2a^2, 0, -2a^2 \) and they are in Arithmetic Progression.
