An algebra problem by Vishwesh Kumar

Algebra Level 2

Consider the 2 functions: f ( x ) = x 3 + a x 2 + b x + c g ( x ) = x 3 + b x 2 + c x + a f\left( x \right) =x^{ 3 }+ax^{ 2 }+bx+c\\ g\left( x \right) =x^{ 3 }+bx^{ 2 }+cx+a

Given:

(i) f(1)=0

(ii) roots of g(x) are squares of roots of f(x)

Find a 2013 + b 2013 + c 2013 a^{ 2013 }+b^{ 2013 }+c^{ 2013 }
