Problem Statement

Let R\mathbb{R} denote the set of all real numbers. Let ai,biRa_i, b_i \in \mathbb{R} for i{1,2,3}i \in \{1, 2, 3\}.Define the functions f:RRf: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, g:RRg: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, and h:RRh: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} byf(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)eqg(x)f(x) eq g(x) for every xRx \in \mathbb{R}, find the square of the coefficient of x3x^3 in h(x)h(x).\

[THOUGHT] I need to find the square of the coefficient of (x^3) in (h(x) = f(x+1) - g(x+2)).

First, I will expand (f(x+1)) and (g(x+2)) using the binomial theorem. Then, I will subtract (g(x+2)) from (f(x+1)) to get (h(x)). Finally, I will identify the coefficient of (x^3) in (h(x)) and square it.

[/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] from sympy import symbols, expand

x = symbols('x') a1, a2, a3 = symbols('a1 a2 a3') b1, b2, b3 = symbols('b1 b2 b3')

Define f(x) and g(x)

f = a1 + 10x + a2x2 + a3*x3 + x4 g = b1 + 3x + b2x2 + b3*x3 + x4

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

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

Extract the coefficient of x^3 in h(x)

coeff_x3 = h.coeff(x3) square_coeff = coeff_x32

print(square_coeff) [/PYTHON]

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] The coefficient of (x^3) in (h(x)) is ((a_3 - b_3 - 4)). Squaring this gives ((a_3 - b_3 - 4)^2). Since the problem asks for the square of the coefficient, the answer is ((a_3 - b_3 - 4)^2). However, the problem implies that this value is a constant (independent of (a_i, b_i)), which suggests that the coefficient itself must be a constant. From the expansion, the coefficient of (x^3) in (h(x)) simplifies to (-4) (since the (a_3) and (b_3) terms cancel out when considering the condition (f(x) \neq g(x)) for all (x)). Thus, the square of the coefficient is ((-4)^2 = 16).

[/THOUGHT] \boxed{16}
