NL-NWO 1990 Problem 3

    A polynomial f(x)=ax4+bx3+cx2+dxf(x)=ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx with a,b,c,d>0a,b,c,d>0 is such that f(x)f(x) is an integer for x∈{−2,−1,0,1,2}x \in \{ -2,-1,0,1,2 \} and f(1)=1f(1)=1 and f(5)=70f(5)=70 . (a)(a) Show that a=124,b=14,c=1124,d=14a=\frac{1}{24}, b=\frac{1}{4},c=\frac{11}{24},d=\frac{1}{4} . (b)(b) Prove that f(x)f(x) is an integer for all x∈Zx \in \mathbb{Z} .
