Correct answer: 0

  1. Let P(x)=f(x3)+xg(x3).P(x)=f(x^3)+xg(x^3).P(x)=f(x3)+xg(x3). We are given that P(x)P(x)P(x) is divisible by x2+x+1.x^2+x+1.x2+x+1.

  2. The roots of x2+x+1=0x^2+x+1=0x2+x+1=0 are the non-real cube roots of unity: omega,omega2,\\omega,\\omega^2,omega,omega2, where omega3=1,omega≠1,1+omega+omega2=0.\\omega^3=1,\quad \\omega\neq 1,\quad 1+\\omega+\\omega^2=0.omega3=1,omega=1,1+omega+omega2=0.

Since x2+x+1x^2+x+1x2+x+1 divides P(x)P(x)P(x), we must have P(omega)=0andP(omega2)=0.P(\\omega)=0 \quad \text{and} \quad P(\\omega^2)=0.P(omega)=0andP(omega2)=0.

  1. Compute P(omega)P(\\omega)P(omega): P(omega)=f(omega3)+omegag(omega3)=f(1)+omegag(1).P(\\omega)=f(\\omega^3)+\\omega g(\\omega^3)=f(1)+\\omega g(1).P(omega)=f(omega3)+omegag(omega3)=f(1)+omegag(1). Thus, f(1)+\\omega g(1)=0. \tag{1}

Similarly, P(\\omega^2)=f((\\omega^2)^3)+\\omega^2 g((\\omega^2)^3)=f(1)+\\omega^2 g(1)=0. \tag{2}

  1. Subtract (1) and (2): (omega−omega2)g(1)=0.(\\omega-\\omega^2)g(1)=0.(omega−omega2)g(1)=0. Since omega≠omega2\\omega\neq \\omega^2omega=omega2, we get g(1)=0.g(1)=0.g(1)=0.

Substitute into (1): f(1)=0.f(1)=0.f(1)=0.

  1. Now compute P(1)P(1)P(1): P(1)=f(13)+1⋅g(13)=f(1)+g(1)=0+0=0.P(1)=f(1^3)+1\cdot g(1^3)=f(1)+g(1)=0+0=0.P(1)=f(13)+1⋅g(13)=f(1)+g(1)=0+0=0.

Therefore, P(1)=0.\boxed{P(1)=0}.P(1)=0​.
