The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( P(1) \) given that \( P(x) = f(x^3) + x g(x^3) \) and that \( P(x) \) is divisible by \( x^2 + x + 1 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Polynomial**: We are given \( P(x) = f(x^3) + x g(x^3) \). Since \( P(x) \) is divisible by \( x^2 + x + 1 \), the roots of this polynomial, which are \( \omega \) and \( \omega^2 \) (where \( \omega = e^{2\pi i / 3} \)), must satisfy \( P(\omega) = 0 \) and \( P(\omega^2) = 0 \). 2. **Finding \( P(\omega) \)**: Substitute \( x = \omega \): \[ P(\omega) = f(\omega^3) + \omega g(\omega^3) \] Since \( \omega^3 = 1 \), we have: \[ P(\omega) = f(1) + \omega g(1) = 0 \quad \text{(1)} \] 3. **Finding \( P(\omega^2) \)**: Substitute \( x = \omega^2 \): \[ P(\omega^2) = f((\omega^2)^3) + \omega^2 g((\omega^2)^3) \] Again, since \( (\omega^2)^3 = 1 \): \[ P(\omega^2) = f(1) + \omega^2 g(1) = 0 \quad \text{(2)} \] 4. **Setting Up the System of Equations**: From equations (1) and (2), we have: \[ f(1) + \omega g(1) = 0 \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ f(1) + \omega^2 g(1) = 0 \quad \text{(2)} \] 5. **Subtracting the Equations**: Subtract equation (2) from equation (1): \[ (\omega - \omega^2) g(1) = 0 \] Since \( \omega - \omega^2 \neq 0 \), we conclude that: \[ g(1) = 0 \] 6. **Substituting \( g(1) \) Back**: Substitute \( g(1) = 0 \) back into either equation (1) or (2): \[ f(1) + \omega \cdot 0 = 0 \implies f(1) = 0 \] 7. **Finding \( P(1) \)**: Now we can find \( P(1) \): \[ P(1) = f(1^3) + 1 \cdot g(1^3) = f(1) + g(1) = 0 + 0 = 0 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \( P(1) \) is \( \boxed{0} \).
