Consider the polynomialf(x)=1 + 2x + 3x^2 +4x^3for all x in R |
|
Answer» `(-1//4,0)` `f(x)=1+2x+3x^2+4x^2` `rArr f(x)=2+6x+12x^2=2(6x^2+3x+1) gt 0` for all `x in R` `rArrf(x)` is striclly increasing on R Now `f(-3//4) lt 0` and `f(-1//2) gt 0` `rArr ` f(x) has a REAL root between `-3/4 " and" -1/2` ALSO f(x) is stricly increasing on R. So f(x) has exactly one real root in the interval `(-3/4, -1/2)` |
