    Let x=−1x= - 1 and x=2x= 2 be the critical points of the function f(x)=x3+ax2+f\left( x \right)=x^{3}+ax^{2}+ b log⁡e∣x∣+1,x≠0b\ \log_{e}|x| + 1,x \neq 0. Let mm and M respectively be the absolute minimum and the absolute maximum values of ff in the interval [−2,−12]\left\lbrack - 2, -\frac{1}{2} \right\rbrack. Then ∣M+m∣|M +m| is equal to (Take log⁡e2=0.7\log_{e}2 = 0.7 ):
