Solution
The correct option is A
Atleast one root
Let f(x)=anXn+an−1Xn−1+...+a2x2+a1x+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)=nanxn−1+(n−1)an−1xn−2+...+a1=0 has atleast one root between ∞andβ. Hence (c) is the correct answer.
