Let f(x)=a0xn+a1xn−1+a2xn−1+....+an−1x+an
f′(x)=a0nxn−1+a1(n−1)xn−2+.....+an−1
f′′(x)=a0n(n−1)xn−2+a1(n−1)(n−2)xn−3+....+an−2
Now,
f(3x)=3na0xn+3n−1a1xn−1+3n−2a2xn−2+....+3an−1+an
f′(x).f′′(x)=[a0nxn−1+a1(n−1)xn−2+....+an−1]
[a0n(n−1)xn−2+a1(n−1)(n−2)xn−3+....+an−2]
Comparing highest powers of x, we get
3na0xn=a02(n−1)xn−1+n−2=a02n2(n−1)x2n−3
Therefore, 2n−3=n
⇒ n = 3 and 3na0=a02n2(n−1)
⇒a0=27=23
Therefore, f(x)=23x3+a1x2+a2x+a3
f′(x)=29x2+2a1x+a2
f′′(x)=9x+2a1
f(3x)=281x3+9a1x2+3a2x+a3
Now, f(3x)=f′(x).f′′(x)
⇒281x3+9a1x2+3a2x+a3
⇒(29x2+2a1x+a2)(9x+2a1)
⇒281x3+9a1x2+3a2x+a3=281x3+[9a1+18a1]x2+[4a12+9a2]x+2a1a2
Comparing the coefficients, we get
9a1=27a1
⇒a1=0,3a2=4a12+9a2=9a2
⇒a2=0
Therefore, f(x)=23x3
f′(x)=29x2
f′′(x)=9x
Hence, f′′(2)−f′(x)=18−18=0
