Correct answer: 0

  1. Since p(x)p(x)p(x) is a polynomial of degree 444 and has extrema at x=1,2x=1,2x=1,2, its derivative must vanish at these points.

    So, p′(1)=0,p′(2)=0.p'(1)=0,\qquad p'(2)=0.p′(1)=0,p′(2)=0.

  2. A quartic polynomial has a cubic derivative. Since extrema are given at x=1,2x=1,2x=1,2, we can write p′(x)=k(x−1)(x−2)(x−a)p'(x)=k(x-1)(x-2)(x-a)p′(x)=k(x−1)(x−2)(x−a) for some constants k≠0k\neq 0k=0 and aaa.

  3. Now use the limit condition: lim⁡x→0(1+p(x)x2)=2.\lim_{x\to 0}\left(1+\frac{p(x)}{x^2}\right)=2.limx→0​(1+x2p(x)​)=2. This gives lim⁡x→0p(x)x2=1.\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{p(x)}{x^2}=1.limx→0​x2p(x)​=1.

    Since p(x)p(x)p(x) is a polynomial, for this limit to be finite, we must have p(0)=0andp′(0)=0.p(0)=0 \quad \text{and} \quad p'(0)=0.p(0)=0andp′(0)=0. Also the limit then equals p′′(0)2=1  ⟹  p′′(0)=2.\frac{p''(0)}{2}=1 \implies p''(0)=2.2p′′(0)​=1⟹p′′(0)=2.

  4. Thus x=0x=0x=0 is a double root of p(x)p(x)p(x). So we can write p(x)=x2(ax2+bx+c).p(x)=x^2(ax^2+bx+c).p(x)=x2(ax2+bx+c).

    Then p(x)x2=ax2+bx+c.\frac{p(x)}{x^2}=ax^2+bx+c.x2p(x)​=ax2+bx+c. Taking x→0x\to 0x→0, c=1.c=1.c=1.

    Hence p(x)=x2(ax2+bx+1).p(x)=x^2(ax^2+bx+1).p(x)=x2(ax2+bx+1).

  5. Differentiate: p(x)=ax4+bx3+x2p(x)=ax^4+bx^3+x^2p(x)=ax4+bx3+x2 so p′(x)=4ax3+3bx2+2x=x(4ax2+3bx+2).p'(x)=4ax^3+3bx^2+2x=x(4ax^2+3bx+2).p′(x)=4ax3+3bx2+2x=x(4ax2+3bx+2).

  6. Since extrema occur at x=1x=1x=1 and x=2x=2x=2, we need p′(1)=0,p′(2)=0.p'(1)=0,\qquad p'(2)=0.p′(1)=0,p′(2)=0.

    From p′(1)=0p'(1)=0p′(1)=0: 4a+3b+2=0.\tag{1}

    From p′(2)=0p'(2)=0p′(2)=0: 32a+12b+2=0 \implies 16a+6b+1=0.\tag{2}

  7. Solve (1) and (2):

    Multiply (1) by 222: 8a+6b+4=0.\tag{3}

    Subtract (3) from (2): 8a−3=0  ⟹  a=38.8a-3=0 \implies a=\frac{3}{8}.8a−3=0⟹a=83​.

    Substitute into (1): 4⋅38+3b+2=04\cdot \frac{3}{8}+3b+2=04⋅83​+3b+2=0 32+3b+2=0\frac{3}{2}+3b+2=023​+3b+2=0 3b=−723b=-\frac{7}{2}3b=−27​ b=−76.b=-\frac{7}{6}.b=−67​.

  8. Now compute p(2)p(2)p(2): p(2)=22(a⋅22+b⋅2+1)p(2)=2^2\left(a\cdot 2^2+b\cdot 2+1\right)p(2)=22(a⋅22+b⋅2+1) =4(4a+2b+1).=4\left(4a+2b+1\right).=4(4a+2b+1).

    Substitute a=38a=\frac{3}{8}a=83​ and b=−76b=-\frac{7}{6}b=−67​: 4a=32,2b=−73.4a=\frac{3}{2},\qquad 2b=-\frac{7}{3}.4a=23​,2b=−37​.

    So,

    =\frac{9-14+6}{6}=\frac{1}{6}.$$ Therefore, $$p(2)=4\cdot \frac{1}{6}=\frac{2}{3}.$$
  9. But this seems inconsistent with the condition that x=2x=2x=2 is an extremum of the quartic. Let us instead use the structure of derivative more carefully.

    Since p(x)=x2(ax2+bx+1)p(x)=x^2(ax^2+bx+1)p(x)=x2(ax2+bx+1), p′(x)=x(4ax2+3bx+2).p'(x)=x(4ax^2+3bx+2).p′(x)=x(4ax2+3bx+2).

    For both x=1x=1x=1 and x=2x=2x=2 to be extrema, the quadratic factor must be proportional to (x−1)(x−2)(x-1)(x-2)(x−1)(x−2): 4ax2+3bx+2=λ(x−1)(x−2)=λ(x2−3x+2).4ax^2+3bx+2 = \lambda(x-1)(x-2)=\lambda(x^2-3x+2).4ax2+3bx+2=λ(x−1)(x−2)=λ(x2−3x+2).

    Comparing constant terms: 2=2λ  ⟹  λ=1.2=2\lambda \implies \lambda=1.2=2λ⟹λ=1.

    Hence

    \qquad 3b=-3 \implies b=-1.$$
  10. Therefore, p(x)=x2(14x2−x+1).p(x)=x^2\left(\frac14 x^2-x+1\right).p(x)=x2(41​x2−x+1).

Now, p(2)=4(14⋅4−2+1)=4(1−2+1)=0.p(2)=4\left(\frac14\cdot 4-2+1\right)=4(1-2+1)=0.p(2)=4(41​⋅4−2+1)=4(1−2+1)=0.

Thus, p(2)=0.\boxed{p(2)=0}.p(2)=0​.
