VTRMC 2017 Problem 6

    Let f(x)∈Z[x]f ( x ) \in \mathbb { Z } [ x ] be a polynomial with integer coefficients such that f(1)=−1,f(4)=2f ( 1 ) = - 1 , f ( 4 ) = 2 and f(8)=34f ( 8 ) = 34 . Suppose n∈Zn\in\mathbb{Z} is an integer such that f(n)=n2−4n−18f ( n ) = n ^ { 2 } - 4 n - 18 . Determine all possible values for nn .
