Correct answer: 8

  1. Let the cubic polynomial be P(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+dP(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+dP(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+d where a,b,c,d∈Ra,b,c,d\in \mathbb{R}a,b,c,d∈R.

  2. Use the local extrema information

    Since P(x)P(x)P(x) has a local maximum at x=−1x=-1x=−1 and a local minimum at x=1x=1x=1, we must have P′(−1)=0,P′(1)=0.P'(-1)=0,\qquad P'(1)=0.P′(−1)=0,P′(1)=0.

    Now, P′(x)=3ax2+2bx+c.P'(x)=3ax^2+2bx+c.P′(x)=3ax2+2bx+c.

    So, P′(1)=3a+2b+c=0P'(1)=3a+2b+c=0P′(1)=3a+2b+c=0 P′(−1)=3a−2b+c=0P'(-1)=3a-2b+c=0P′(−1)=3a−2b+c=0

    Subtracting, 4b=0  ⟹  b=0.4b=0 \implies b=0.4b=0⟹b=0.

    Then, 3a+c=0  ⟹  c=−3a.3a+c=0 \implies c=-3a.3a+c=0⟹c=−3a.

    Hence, P(x)=ax3−3ax+d.P(x)=ax^3-3ax+d.P(x)=ax3−3ax+d.

  3. Use the condition that P(−3)=0P(-3)=0P(−3)=0

    Since the polynomial vanishes at x=−3x=-3x=−3, P(−3)=a(−27)−3a(−3)+d=0P(-3)=a(-27)-3a(-3)+d=0P(−3)=a(−27)−3a(−3)+d=0 −27a+9a+d=0-27a+9a+d=0−27a+9a+d=0 −18a+d=0  ⟹  d=18a.-18a+d=0 \implies d=18a.−18a+d=0⟹d=18a.

    Therefore, P(x)=a(x3−3x+18).P(x)=a(x^3-3x+18).P(x)=a(x3−3x+18).

  4. Use the definite integral condition

    Given ∫−11P(x) dx=18.\int_{-1}^{1} P(x)\,dx=18.∫−11​P(x)dx=18.

    So, ∫−11a(x3−3x+18) dx=18.\int_{-1}^{1} a(x^3-3x+18)\,dx=18.∫−11​a(x3−3x+18)dx=18.

    Factor out aaa: a∫−11(x3−3x+18) dx=18.a\int_{-1}^{1}(x^3-3x+18)\,dx=18.a∫−11​(x3−3x+18)dx=18.

    Now, over [−1,1][-1,1][−1,1]:

    • x3x^3x3 is odd, so ∫−11x3 dx=0\int_{-1}^{1}x^3\,dx=0∫−11​x3dx=0
    • −3x-3x−3x is odd, so ∫−11(−3x) dx=0\int_{-1}^{1}(-3x)\,dx=0∫−11​(−3x)dx=0
    • 181818 is constant, so ∫−1118 dx=18(2)=36\int_{-1}^{1}18\,dx=18(2)=36∫−11​18dx=18(2)=36

    Thus, a⋅36=18  ⟹  a=12.a\cdot 36=18 \implies a=\frac12.a⋅36=18⟹a=21​.

    Therefore, P(x)=12x3−32x+9.P(x)=\frac12x^3-\frac32x+9.P(x)=21​x3−23​x+9.

  5. Check the nature of extrema

    P′(x)=32x2−32=32(x2−1).P'(x)=\frac32x^2-\frac32=\frac32(x^2-1).P′(x)=23​x2−23​=23​(x2−1). So critical points are at x=±1x=\pm 1x=±1.

    P′′(x)=3x.P''(x)=3x.P′′(x)=3x. Then, P′′(−1)=−3<0P''(-1)=-3<0P′′(−1)=−3<0 so x=−1x=-1x=−1 is a local maximum, and P′′(1)=3>0P''(1)=3>0P′′(1)=3>0 so x=1x=1x=1 is a local minimum.

    Hence all conditions are satisfied.

  6. Find the sum of all coefficients

    The sum of coefficients of a polynomial is P(1)P(1)P(1).

    Compute: P(1)=12−32+9=8.P(1)=\frac12-\frac32+9=8.P(1)=21​−23​+9=8.

    So the required integer is 8.\boxed{8}.8​.
