Correct answer: 144
- Let the polynomial be
Since is a monic polynomial of degree , write
- Use the limit condition
Given For this limit to exist and be finite, all terms of degree less than must vanish: Also the coefficient of must be , so Hence,
- Use the extrema at and
If are extrema, then Now,
So at ,
At ,
- Solve for
Adding (1) and (2):
Substitute into (2):
Thus,
- Find
Therefore,
- Comparison with stored answer
Derived answer is , which matches the stored correct answer.
