Because f(x)≥x and f(2)≥2.
Because x∈( 1, 3), f(x)≤ 1/8(x+2)? So f(2)≤2
Taken together, we can get two: f(2)=2.
The second question:
4a+2b+c=2 from f(2)=2.
4a-2b+c=0 from f(-2)=0.
Solution: b= 1/2 c= 1-4a.
f(x)=ax? +x/2+ 1-4a≥x applies to all real numbers.
Is that an axe? -x/2+ 1-4a≥0 holds for all real numbers.
So the discriminant = 1/4-4a( 1-4a)≤0.
Get (4a- 1/2)? ≤0
So a =1/8c =1-4a =1/2.
f(x)=x? /8+x/2+ 1/2
Is it more detailed?
