For each positive integer nn, consider the function

fn(x)=(x−2)n(x+2)n.f_n(x)=(x-2)^n(x+2)^n.

Which of the following statements is/are necessarily true?

  • I. If nn is even then ∫−22fn(x) dx≤34\displaystyle\int_{-2}^2 f_n(x)\,dx\leq34.
  • II. For every positive real number kk, there exists a positive integer nn such that fn′(x)>kf_n'(x)>k for some real number xx with −1<x<0-1<x<0.
  • III. If n>1n>1 then there exist real numbers aa and bb such that the equation fn(x)−ax=bf_n(x)-ax=b has exactly four solutions.
