Let f(x) be a quadratic polynomial such that f(-4) = -22, f(-1)=2, and f(2)=-1. Let g(x) = f(x)^{16}. Find the sum of the coefficients of the terms in g(x) with even exponents. (For example, the sum of the coefficients of the terms in -7x^3 + 4x^2 + 10x - 5 with even exponents is (4) + (-5) = -1.)

 

Thank you!

The sum of the coefficients is 4^15 - 3^15.

What have you already done?

I figured it out, thank you! I did it by finding a, b, and c, then finding g(x) which was (4^16-3^16)/2
