extracted_textThe extracted text indicates that the problem involves determining the values of constants aa, bb, cc, and dd for the function:

f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+df(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d

such that the function has a local maximum at the point (0,0)(0,0) and a local minimum at the point (1,4)(1, -4).

To solve this, we need to:

  1. Apply the condition that f(0)=0f(0) = 0 (since the function has a local maximum at (0,0)(0,0)).
  2. Use the condition that f(1)=4f(1) = -4 (since the function has a local minimum at (1,4)(1, -4)).
  3. Differentiate f(x)f(x) to find the first and second derivatives and apply the critical point conditions at x=0x = 0 and x=1x = 1 for local extrema.
