Solution

Given, $\int x^3 \cdot e^{2 x} d x=\frac{e^{2 x}}{8} f(x)+c$ By applying integration by parts, we get $ \begin{aligned} & \left.x^3 \cdot \int e^{2 x} d x-\int\left(\frac{d}{d x} x^3 \int e^{2 x} d x\right) d x\right)=\frac{e^{2 x}}{8}+f(x)+c \\ & x^3 \cdot \frac{e^{2 x}}{2}-\int 3 x^2 \cdot \frac{e^{2 x}}{2} d x=\frac{e^{2 x}}{8} f(x)+c \\ & \frac{1}{2} x^3 e^{2 x}-\frac{3}{2}\left[x^2 \cdot \frac{e^{2 x}}{2}-\int 2 x \cdot \frac{e^{2 x}}{2} d x\right]=\frac{e^{2 x}}{8} f(x)+c \end{aligned} $ [Again applying integration by parts] $ \begin{array}{r} \frac{1}{2} x^3 e^{2 x}-\frac{3}{4} x^2 \cdot e^{2 x}+\frac{3}{2} \int x \cdot e^{2 x} d x=\frac{e^{2 x}}{8} f(x)+c \\ \frac{1}{2} x^3 e^{2 x}-\frac{3}{4} x^2 \cdot e^{2 x}+\frac{3}{2}\left[x \frac{e^{2 x}}{2}-\int 1 \cdot \frac{e^{2 x}}{2} d x\right] \\ =\frac{e^{2 x}}{8} f(x)+c \end{array} $ $ \begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{2} x^3 e^{2 x}-\frac{3}{4} x^2 e^{2 x}+\frac{3}{4} x e^{2 x}-\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{e^{2 x}}{2}=\frac{e^{2 x}}{8} f(x)+c \\ & \frac{e^{2 x}}{8}\left[4 x^3-6 x^2+6 x-3\right]+c_1=\frac{e^{2 x}}{8} f(x)+c \end{aligned} $ $\therefore$ On comparison, we get $ f(x)=4 x^3-6 x^2+6 x-3 $ But given, $ \begin{aligned} & f(x)=1 \\ & 4 x^3-6 x^2+6 x-3=1 \\ & 4 x^3-6 x^2+6 x-4=0 \end{aligned} $ Divided by 2, we get $ \begin{array}{lr} & 2 x^3-3 x^2+3 x-2=0 \\ \Rightarrow & 2\left(x^3-1\right)-3 x(x-1)=0 \\ \Rightarrow & 2(x-1)\left(x^2+x+1\right)-3 x(x-1)=0 \\ \Rightarrow & (x-1)\left[2 x^2+2 x+2-3 x\right]=0 \\ \Rightarrow & (x-1)\left[2 x^2-x+2\right]=0 \\ x=1 \text { is real root. } \end{array} $ So, sum of non-real complex root from the quadratic equation $2 x^2-x+2=0$ is $-\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)=\frac{1}{2}$ Hence, option (a) is correct
