Question

If $$f\left( x \right) = 4x - {x^2},\,x\, \in \,R,$$     then $$f\left( {a + 1} \right) - f\left( {a - 1} \right)$$     is equal to :

A. $$2\left( {4 - a} \right)$$
B. $$4\left( {2 - a} \right)$$  
C. $$4\left( {2 + a} \right)$$
D. $$2\left( {4 + a} \right)$$
Answer :   $$4\left( {2 - a} \right)$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Given,}}\,f\left( x \right) = 4x - {x^2} \cr & \Rightarrow f\left( {a + 1} \right) - f\left( {a - 1} \right) \cr & = \left\{ {4\left( {a + 1} \right) - {{\left( {a + 1} \right)}^2}} \right\} - \left\{ {4\left( {a - 1} \right) - {{\left( {a - 1} \right)}^2}} \right\} \cr & = 8 - \left\{ {{{\left( {a + 1} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {a - 1} \right)}^2}} \right\} \cr & = 8 - 4a \cr & = 4\left( {2 - a} \right) \cr} $$
