Correct answer: 8
-
Let the cubic polynomial be where .
-
Use the local extrema information
Since has a local maximum at and a local minimum at , we must have
Now,
So,
Subtracting,
Then,
Hence,
-
Use the condition that
Since the polynomial vanishes at ,
Therefore,
-
Use the definite integral condition
Given
So,
Factor out :
Now, over :
- is odd, so
- is odd, so
- is constant, so
Thus,
Therefore,
-
Check the nature of extrema
So critical points are at .
Then, so is a local maximum, and so is a local minimum.
Hence all conditions are satisfied.
-
Find the sum of all coefficients
The sum of coefficients of a polynomial is .
Compute:
So the required integer is
