Continuity and Differentiability
If 27a+9b+3c+d=0, then the equation 4ax3+3bx2+2cx+d=0 has at least one real root lying between |
0 and 1 1 and 3 0 and 3 none of these |
0 and 3 |
Consider the polynomial f(x) given by f(x)=ax4+bx3+cx2+dx ⇒f′(x)=4ax3+3bx2+2cd+d We have, f(0)=0 and, f(3)=81a+27b+9c+3d=3(27a+9b+3c+d)=0 [Given] Therefore, 0 and 3 are roots of f(x)=0. Consequently, by Rolle's theorem f′(x)=0 i.e. 4ax3+3bx2+2cx+d=0 has at least one real root between 0 and 3. |
