Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
Answer (E): Because $P(0)=k$, it follows that $P(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+k$. Thus $P(1)=a+b+c+k=2k$ and $P(-1)=-a+b-c+k=3k$. Adding these equations gives $2b=3k$. Hence
$$
P(2)+P(-2)=(8a+4b+2c+k)+(-8a+4b-2c+k)
=8b+2k=12k+2k=14k.
$$
答案(E):因为 $P(0)=k$,所以 $P(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+k$。因此 $P(1)=a+b+c+k=2k$,且 $P(-1)=-a+b-c+k=3k$。将这两个等式相加得 $2b=3k$。因此
$$
P(2)+P(-2)=(8a+4b+2c+k)+(-8a+4b-2c+k)
=8b+2k=12k+2k=14k。
