Here's the solution to your differential calculus problem:

9.1.1 Show that b=1b=1, c=−16c=-16 and d=20d=20.

Step 1: Determine dd and xPx_P.
The graph intersects the yy-axis at (0;20)(0; 20). Substituting x=0x=0 into g(x)g(x):

g(0)=(0)3+b(0)2+c(0)+d=dg(0) = (0)^3 + b(0)^2 + c(0) + d = d

Therefore, d=20d=20.

The graph intersects the xx-axis at (−5;0)(-5; 0) and at P. P is also a
