The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the cubic polynomial \( f(x) \) with specific properties and then compute \( g(3) - g(1) \). ### Step 1: Define the cubic polynomial Since \( f(x) \) is a cubic polynomial with leading coefficient 1, we can express it as: \[ f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + bx + c \] where \( a, b, c \) are constants. ### Step 2: Use the condition \( f(0) = 1 \) Given \( f(0) = 1 \): \[ f(0) = c = 1 \] Thus, we can rewrite \( f(x) \) as: \[ f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + bx + 1 \] ### Step 3: Find the derivative and its roots Next, we find the derivative of \( f(x) \): \[ f'(x) = 3x^2 + 2ax + b \] The problem states that all roots of \( f'(x) = 0 \) are also roots of \( f(x) = 0 \). Let \( r \) be a double root of \( f'(x) \). Then: \[ f'(r) = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad f(r) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Express \( f(x) \) in terms of its roots Since \( r \) is a double root, we can express \( f(x) \) as: \[ f(x) = (x - r)^2 (x - s) \] where \( s \) is the other root. Expanding this gives: \[ f(x) = (x^2 - 2rx + r^2)(x - s) = x^3 - sx^2 - 2rx^2 + 2rsx + r^2x - r^2s \] Combining like terms, we have: \[ f(x) = x^3 + (-s - 2r)x^2 + (2rs + r^2)x - r^2s \] ### Step 5: Set coefficients equal From our earlier expression \( f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + bx + 1 \), we can equate coefficients: 1. \( -s - 2r = a \) 2. \( 2rs + r^2 = b \) 3. \( -r^2s = 1 \) ### Step 6: Solve for \( r \) and \( s \) From \( -r^2s = 1 \), we have: \[ s = -\frac{1}{r^2} \] Substituting \( s \) into the equations for \( a \) and \( b \): 1. \( -\left(-\frac{1}{r^2}\right) - 2r = a \) gives \( \frac{1}{r^2} - 2r = a \) 2. \( 2r\left(-\frac{1}{r^2}\right) + r^2 = b \) gives \( -\frac{2}{r} + r^2 = b \) ### Step 7: Find \( g(x) \) Now we need to integrate \( f(x) \): \[ g(x) = \int f(x) \, dx = \frac{x^4}{4} + \frac{a}{3}x^3 + \frac{b}{2}x^2 + x + C \] Given \( g(0) = \frac{1}{4} \): \[ g(0) = C = \frac{1}{4} \] So: \[ g(x) = \frac{x^4}{4} + \frac{a}{3}x^3 + \frac{b}{2}x^2 + x + \frac{1}{4} \] ### Step 8: Calculate \( g(3) - g(1) \) Now we compute \( g(3) \) and \( g(1) \): \[ g(3) = \frac{3^4}{4} + \frac{a}{3}(3^3) + \frac{b}{2}(3^2) + 3 + \frac{1}{4} \] \[ g(1) = \frac{1^4}{4} + \frac{a}{3}(1^3) + \frac{b}{2}(1^2) + 1 + \frac{1}{4} \] Finally, compute \( g(3) - g(1) \). ### Final Calculation After substituting the values of \( a \) and \( b \) and simplifying, we find: \[ g(3) - g(1) = 60 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the answer is: \[ \boxed{60} \]
