Let $p(x)$ be fifth degree polynomial such that $p(x)+1$ is divisible by $(x-1)^3$ and $p(x)-1 $is divisible by $(x+1)^3 $. Then find the value of the definite integral $$int _-10^10p(x)dx$$




Attempt:



$p(x)-1 = (x+1)^3 Q(x)$



$p(x)+1 = (x-1)^3 H(x)$



Where $Q(x)$ and $H(x)$ are unknown quadratics.



But there's not sufficient information to find $Q$ and $H$ thats why I am unable to proceed.



Please provide only a guiding hint, I want to solve it myself.

          Note that if $(x-1)^3$ divides $p(x)+1$, then $(x-1)^2$ divides $p^prime(x)$



          Similarly,



          if $(x+1)^3$ divides $p(x)-1$, then $(x-1)^2$ divides $p^prime(x)$



          Since given that the degree is $5$ then when we differentiate it becomes $4$.



          Therefore, $p^prime(x)=t(x+1)^2(x-1)^2=t(x^4-2x^2+1)$ where $tinmathbbR$



          Then $$p(x)=dfrac t5x^5-dfrac2t3x^3+tx+bmbox $$ for $binmathbbR$$$$$



          Since $(x+1)^3$ divides, we have $$p(-1)=-frac a5+dfrac2a3-a+b=1......(1)$$



          Since $(x-1)^3$ divides, we have $$p(1)=dfrac a5-dfrac2a3+a+b=-1.......(2)$$



          Now add $(1)+(2)$ gives $b=1$ and $a=-dfrac158$



          Therefore, $p(x)=-dfrac38x^5+dfrac54x^3-dfrac158x$



          Now $$int_-10^10p(x)dx=int_-10^10left(-dfrac38x^5+dfrac54x^3-dfrac158xright)dx=0$$

            Thanks to @KeyFlex answer, if both $(x-1)^2$ and $(x+1)^2$ divide $p^prime(x)$, then since $p'$ is degree $4$ so
            $$p'(x)=k(x^2-1)^2$$
            for a real $k$, hence $p'$ is even and then $p$ is odd which concludes $$int_-10^10p(x)dx=0$$
