Solution
Given the equation: 3f(x)+2f(x1)=x1−10 Replace x with x1 in the original equation: 3f(x1)+2f(x)=x−10 Now, we have two equations: 3f(x)+2f(x1)=x1−103f(x1)+2f(x)=x−10 By adding the two equations, we can find f(x): 5f(x)=x3−2x−10 Now, let's differentiate both sides with respect to x: 5f′(x)=−x23−2 Now, we can find the values for f(3) and f′(41): f(3)=51(1−6−10)=−3f′(41)=51(−48−2)=−10 Finally, calculate the expression we are interested in : f(3)+f′(41)=∣−3−10∣=13
