The correct option is C -i √3
x2+x+b=0, x2+bx-1 = 0
⇒ = x2b2+1 = x−1−b= 11−b
⇒ = x= (b[2+1)]−(b+1)= −(b+1)(1−b)
→ (b2+1)(1-b)=(b +1)2
→ b2 -b3 + 1 -b = b2 +2b + 1
⇒ b3+3b=0 ⇒ b=0,b2=-3
⇒ b = 0, ± √3i
First let us suppose that all four roots are real and distined
Let f(x) = x4 - 4x3 + 12x2 + x -1 = 0
Let f(x) = x4 - 4x3 + 12x2 + x -1 = 0
⇒ f'(x) = 4x3 - 12x2 + 24x+1
Must have three distinct real roots
f"(x)=0 ⇒ 12x2 -24x + 24 = 0
Most have two distinct real roots which is a contradiztion because 12x2 - 24x + 24 = 0
or x2 - 2x + 2 = Q
⇒ D < 0
Hence f(x) = 0 can not have all four equal roots.As f(0) = -1, f(1) = 9, f(-1) = 15
⇒ f(x) = 0 must have two distinct real roots are in [ -1,0 [ and other in [0,1[.
