10

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

fx=k=110k·xk, x

fx=x+2x2+3x3++10x10

Now let  S=x+2x2+3x3++10x10

So, S·x =      x2+2x3++9x10+10x11

Now subtracting above equations we get,

S1-x=x+x2+x3++x10-10x11

S1-x=x1-x101-x-10x11

S=x1-x101-x2-10x111-x=fx

Now finding, f2=21-210+10·211

f2=2+18·210

Now finding f'x we get,

f'x=-10x111-x2-110x101-x-10x101-x2+2x1-x101-x3+1-x101-x2

f'2=-10·2111-22-110·2101-2-10·2101-22+2·2·1-2101-23+1-2101-22

f'2=-10·211+110·210-10·210-41-210+1-210

f'2=83·210-3

2f(2)+f'(2)=22+18·210+83·210-3=119(2)10+1

  n=10
