If f(x)f(x) is a cubic polynomial which has a local maximum at x=−1x=-1, f(2)=18f(2)=18, f(1)=−1f(1)=-1, and f′(x)f'(x) has a local minimum at x=0x=0, then (1) The distance between (−1,2)(-1,2) and (a,f(a))(a,f(a)), where x=ax=a is the point of local minimum, is 252\sqrt{5}. (2) f(x)f(x) is increasing for x∈[1,25]x\in[1,2\sqrt{5}]. (3) f(x)f(x) has a local minimum at x=1x=1. (4) f(0)=5f(0)=5.
