x^2 −2x+3=(x−1)^2 +2  2x^2 −4x+4=2(x−1)^2 +2  let f(x)=a(x−1)^2 +2 with 1≤a≤2  f(5)=a(5−1)^2 +2=26  ⇒a=(3/2)  ⇒f(7)=(3/2)(7−1)^2 +2=3×18+2=56  Answer (C)
$$\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2x}+\mathrm{3}=\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4x}+\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{let}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)=\mathrm{a}\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{1}\leqslant\mathrm{a}\leqslant\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{5}\right)=\mathrm{a}\left(\mathrm{5}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{26} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{7}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{7}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{18}+\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{56} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Answer}\:\left(\mathrm{C}\right) \\ $$
