Top student Xue Jie Process Answer

Solution: (1)∵f(x) is a quadratic function and f(0)=f(2),

The symmetry axis is x = 1.

The minimum value of f (x) is 1,

∫ let f(x)=a(x- 1)2+ 1, (a > 0).

∫f(0)= 3,

∴a=2,

∴f(x)=2(x- 1)2+ 1, that is, f (x) = 2x2-4x+3.

(2) It can be known from the condition that the symmetry axis x of f(x) passes through the interval (2a, a+ 1).

∴2a< 1
