Q87.Let P(x) be a real polynomial of degree 3 which vanishes at x = −3. Let P(x) have local minima at x = 1 , local maxima at x = −1 and ∫1−1 P(x)dx = 18 , then the sum of all the coefficients of the polynomial P(x) is equal to ___ .

What This Question Tests

This is a multi-concept problem requiring the use of derivative properties for local extrema to find the form of the polynomial, integrating it to determine coefficients, and then finding the sum of coefficients by evaluating the polynomial at x=1.

Concepts Tested

Local maxima and minima (first derivative test)Polynomial construction from roots and critical pointsDefinite integration

Formulas Used

P'(x) = k(x-x1)(x-x2) for critical points x1, x2

∫ P(x) dx

Sum of coefficients P(1)
