Locate the situation of the roots of the equation givem below :x^3+x^2-2x-1=0 |
|
Answer» Given equation is x3 + x2 - 2x - 1 = 0 Since only one time sign changes from going left side to right side. So, only one real root is possible. \(\because\) f(0) = -1 & f(-1) = -1 + 1 + 2 - 1 = 1 > 0, where f(x) = x3 + x2 - 2x - 1 \(\therefore\) f(0) f(-1) < 0 \(\therefore\) Root lies between 0 and -1. |
