Solution

The correct option is A

Atleast one root


Let f(x)=an Xn+an1 Xn1+...+a2 x2+a1 x+a0
Which is a polynomial function in x of degree n. Hence f(x) is continuos and differentiable for all x.
Let <β . We given, f ()=0=f(β).
By Rolle's theorem, f' (c) = 0 for some value c,
<c<β.
Hence the equation
F(x)=nanxn1+(n1)an1xn2+...+a1=0

has atleast one root between and β.
Hence (c) is the correct answer.
