Qn Solution

Let f ( x ) = ax3 + bx 2 + cx + d .

Method 1:
f ( 0) =0 ⇒ d =0
f (1) = a + b + c = 3  (1)
f ′ (1) = 3a + 2b + c = 0  (2)
Since the stationary point is a point of inflexion, f ′′ (1) = 6a + 2b = 0  (3)

Using GC to solve, a = 3, b = – 9, c = 9
∴ f ( x ) = 3x3 − 9 x 2 + 9 x

Method 2:
f ( 0) =0 ⇒ d =0
f (1) = a + b + c = 3  (1)
f ′ (1) = 3a + 2b + c = 0  (2)
f ' ( x ) = 3ax 2 + 2bx + c
Since there is only one stationary point, f ' ( x ) = 0 has only one solution.
Hence, Discriminant = 0
( 2b ) − 4(3a )(c) =

0

 4b 2 − 12ac = 0  (3)
Solving equations (1), (2) & (3), we have a =
3, b =
−9, c =
9
∴ f ( x ) = 3x − 9 x + 9 x
3 2

Method 3:
f ( 0) =0 ⇒ d =0
f (1) = a + b + c = 3  (1)
 x = 1 is the only stationary point
∴ f ′ ( x ) = k ( x − 1) = 3ax 2 + 2bx + c
2

∴ k =3a =−b =c  (2)

Solving (1) and (2), a =
3, b =
−9, c =
9
∴ f ( x ) = 3x3 − 9 x 2 + 9 x
