The number of value of k for which the equation x3 – 3x + k = 0 has two different roots lying in the interval (0, 1) are |
3 2 infinitely many no value of k satisfies the requirement |
no value of k satisfies the requirement |
Let f(x) = x3 – 3x + k f'(x) = 3(x – 1) (x + 1) Thus the stationary points being +1 and −1 they lie outside the given region hence no value of k can make the equation roots lie in the given range of (0,1). |
