f ( x ) = ( 2 + x + a x 2 ) ln ( x + 1 ) − 2 x = ( 2 + x + a x 2 ) ( x − 2 x 2 + 3 x 3 − 4 x 4 + ⋯ ) − 2 x = ( a − 2 1 + 3 2 ) x 3 − ( 2 a − 3 1 + 2 1 ) x 4 + O ( x 5 ) = ( a + 6 1 ) x 3 − ( 2 a + 6 1 ) x 4 + O ( x 5 )
For f ( 0 ) = 0 to be a local maximum, f ( ± Δ x ) < 0 , where Δ x is a small increment of x . That is f ( ± Δ x ) = ± ( a + 6 1 ) Δ 3 x − ( 2 a + 6 1 ) Δ 4 x + O ( Δ 5 x ) < 0 , which is always true when a = − 6 1 = A . Therefore ⌊ 1 0 0 0 0 A ⌋ = − 1 6 6 7 .
