The equation $\sin x+x \cos x=0$ has at least one root in the interval
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Consider the function $f(x)$ given by
$f(x)=\int(\sin x+x \cos x) d x=x \sin x$
We observe that
$f(0)=f(\pi)=0$
Therefore, 0 and $\pi$ are two roots of $f(x)=0$.
Consequently, $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ i.e. $\sin x+x \cos x=0$ has at least one root in $(0, \pi)$.
