Find a polynomial $f(x)$ of degree $5$ such that both the properties hold:
- $f(x)$ is divisible by $x^{3}$.
- $f(x)+3$ is divisible by $(x+1)^{3}$.

Write your answer in expanded form.
 
Solution
xer paper
I'll use an online LaTeX interpreter/parser o algo (use a non-dark theme to actually see the mostly transparent images I sent ITP).

We start with these 2 equations:

The first equation is our 'divisible by $x^{3}$' statement and the second equation is our 'divisible by (x+1)^{3} after adding 3' statement.

Let's rewrite $y(x)$ and $g(x)$ into something more comprehensible (WOAHJAKS) and bring it to its logical conclusion.

The degree of $f(x)$ is $5$ and is divisible by $x^{3}$, therefore $f(x)$ must NOT have a constant, linear or quadratic term, thus making the equation look something like the above.

Unfortunately, it gets quite messy after this, bear with me thoughbeit.

We substitute $f(x)$...

We substitute $f(x)$ for its first equation into the second. We expand both equations and try to get the coefficients to equate to one another.

Therefore, $f(x)=18x^{2}+45x+30$

Okay, I gotta bounce, see you in an hour or 2.
@KingofTheRing check again nigga
