Problem Statement

Let $\mathbb{R}$ denote the set of all real numbers. Let $a_i, b_i \in \mathbb{R}$ for $i \in \{1, 2, 3\}$ .Define the functions $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ , $g: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ , and $h: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ by

f(x) = a_1 + 10x + a_2 x^2 + a_3 x^3 + x^4,

g(x) = b_1 + 3x + b_2 x^2 + b_3 x^3 + x^4,

h(x) = f(x+1) - g(x+2).

If $f(x) eq g(x)$ for every $x \in \mathbb{R}$ , find the square of the coefficient of $x^3$ in $h(x)$ .\

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] To find the coefficient of $x^3$ in $h(x) = f(x+1) - g(x+2)$ , we need to first expand $f(x+1)$ and $g(x+2)$ , then subtract the resulting polynomials.

Let's expand $f(x+1)$ :

f(x+1) = a_1 + 10(x+1) + a_2 (x+1)^2 + a_3 (x+1)^3 + (x+1)^4

= a_1 + 10x + 10 + a_2 (x^2 + 2x + 1) + a_3 (x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x + 1) + (x^4 + 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 4x + 1)

= a_1 + 10 + a_2 + a_3 + 1 + 10x + 2a_2 x + 3a_3 x + 4x + a_2 x^2 + 3a_3 x^2 + 6x^2 + x^4 + 4x^3 + a_3 x^3

= (a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + 11) + (10 + 2a_2 + 3a_3 + 4)x + (a_2 + 3a_3 + 6)x^2 + (4 + a_3)x^3 + x^4

= (a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + 11) + (14 + 2a_2 + 3a_3)x + (a_2 + 3a_3 + 6)x^2 + (4 + a_3)x^3 + x^4

Next, let's expand $g(x+2)$ :

g(x+2) = b_1 + 3(x+2) + b_2 (x+2)^2 + b_3 (x+2)^3 + (x+2)^4

= b_1 + 3x + 6 + b_2 (x^2 + 4x + 4) + b_3 (x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8) + (x^4 + 8x^3 + 24x^2 + 32x + 16)

= b_1 + 6 + 4b_2 + 8b_3 + 16 + 3x + 4b_2 x + 6b_3 x + 8x + b_2 x^2 + 6b_3 x^2 + 24x^2 + x^4 + 8x^3 + b_3 x^3

= (b_1 + 4b_2 + 8b_3 + 22) + (3 + 4b_2 + 6b_3 + 8)x + (b_2 + 6b_3 + 24)x^2 + (8 + b_3)x^3 + x^4

= (b_1 + 4b_2 + 8b_3 + 22) + (11 + 4b_2 + 6b_3)x + (b_2 + 6b_3 + 24)x^2 + (8 + b_3)x^3 + x^4

Now, we subtract $g(x+2)$ from $f(x+1)$ :

h(x) = f(x+1) - g(x+2)

= \left[ (a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + 11) + (14 + 2a_2 + 3a_3)x + (a_2 + 3a_3 + 6)x^2 + (4 + a_3)x^3 + x^4 \right] - \left[ (b_1 + 4b_2 + 8b_3 + 22) + (11 + 4b_2 + 6b_3)x + (b_2 + 6b_3 + 24)x^2 + (8 + b_3)x^3 + x^4 \right]

Combine like terms:

h(x) = \left( (a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + 11) - (b_1 + 4b_2 + 8b_3 + 22) \right) + \left( (14 + 2a_2 + 3a_3) - (11 + 4b_2 + 6b_3) \right)x + \left( (a_2 + 3a_3 + 6) - (b_2 + 6b_3 + 24) \right)x^2 + \left( (4 + a_3) - (8 + b_3) \right)x^3 + (x^4 - x^4)

= (a_1 + a_2 + a_3 - b_1 - 4b_2 - 8b_3 - 11) + (3 + 2a_2 + 3a_3 - 4b_2 - 6b_3)x + (a_2 + 3a_3 - b_2 - 6b_3 - 18)x^2 + (a_3 - b_3 - 4)x^3

The coefficient of $x^3$ in $h(x)$ is:

a_3 - b_3 - 4

We need to find the square of this coefficient:

(a_3 - b_3 - 4)^2

We are given that $f(x) \neq g(x)$ for every $x \in \mathbb{R}$ . This implies that $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are distinct polynomials, and thus their coefficients are different. However, since we are not given specific values for $a_3$ and $b_3$ , we must consider this expression as it stands. But the problem's constraints suggest we want a specific value.

Given the context, let’s compute the square:

(a_3 - b_3 - 4)^2

Since we need a numerical answer and the problem specifies we should find the square of the coefficient of $x^3$ , we will consider the expression itself as a potential answer. Let's use Python to confirm our steps and ensure the coefficient is correctly identified. [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON]

Define the coefficients of f(x) and g(x)

a1, a2, a3 = 1, 2, 3 # Example values (arbitrary) b1, b2, b3 = 4, 5, 6 # Example values (arbitrary)

Coefficient of x^3 in h(x)

coeff_x3 = a3 - b3 - 4

Square of the coefficient of x^3

squared_coeff = coeff_x3 ** 2 print(squared_coeff)
