Correct answer: 22
-
Let the cubic polynomial be Then, and
-
Use the condition: local minima of at
For a local extremum at , So,
Since it is a local minimum, we should have which will be checked later.
-
Use the condition: local minima of at
Since is a quadratic polynomial, its local minimum occurs at its vertex. Thus, must vanish at : Hence,
Also, for to have a local minimum, its quadratic coefficient must be positive:
-
Use the given values
From ,
From ,
-
Substitute into
-
Now use equations and
From :
From :
-
Solve for and
Subtract from :
Then, and from ,
Therefore,
-
Check the minimum condition at
So is indeed a local minimum.
-
Compute
-
Comparison with stored answer
Derived answer is , which matches the stored correct answer.
