Problem Statement

Return a single integer only. The problem has been revised so that no final answer is an irrational number, a parameterized expression, a range, a proof, a drawing, a graph, a locus equation, or a region description.

Let

f(x)=2x3+10x2+20x.f(x)=2x^3+10x^2+20x.

Find the number of integers xx for which f(x)f(x) is prime.

Reasoning Process

The function is f(x)=2x3+10x2+20x=2x(x2+5x+10)f(x) = 2x^3 + 10x^2 + 20x = 2x(x^2 + 5x + 10). For any integer xx, f(x)f(x) is a multiple of 2, so it is even. The only even prime number is 2. Therefore, for f(x)f(x) to be prime, we must have f(x)=2f(x) = 2. Solving 2x3+10x2+20x=22x^3 + 10x^2 + 20x = 2 gives x3+5x2+10x1=0x^3 + 5x^2 + 10x - 1 = 0. Testing small integers shows no integer solutions (e.g., x=0x=0 gives 1-1, x=1x=1 gives 1515, x=1x=-1 gives 7-7). Since f(x)f(x) is even for all integer xx and never equals 2, it can never be a prime number. Thus, there are 0 such integers.

\boxed{0}
