Let

n

be an odd positive integer. Then, the number of real roots of the polynomial

{P_n}\left( x \right) = 1 + 2x + 3{x^2} + \; \ldots \ldots + \left( {n + 1} \right){x^n},

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Option C (1) is correct because the polynomial has exactly one real root, which lies between -1 and 0, due to the change of sign and the odd degree of the polynomial.

The solution of the equation

\log _7 \log _5(\sqrt{x+5}+\sqrt{x})=0

is If

\alpha ,\beta

are the roots of

{x^2} - 3x + a = 0,a \in R

and

\alpha < 1 < \beta ,

then If

\alpha ,\;\beta

be the roots of the equation

{x^2} - px + q = 0

and

{\alpha _1},{\beta _1}

be the roots of the equation

{x^2} - qx + p = 0,

then the equation whose roots are

\frac{1}{{{\alpha _1}\beta }} + \frac{1}{{\alpha {\beta _1}}}\mathrm{and}\;\frac{1}{{\alpha {\alpha _1}}} + \frac{1}{{\beta {\beta _1}}},

is If

{x^2} + 4ax + 2 > 0

for all values of

x

, then

a

lies in the interval If

f\left( x \right) = a{x^2} + bx + c\;

and

\;f\left( { - 1} \right) < 1,f\left( 1 \right) > - 1,f\left( 3 \right) < - 4\;

and

\;a \ne 0,

then Root(s) of the equation

9{x^2} - 18\left| x \right| + 5 = 0

belonging to the domain of definition of the function

f\left( x \right) = \log \left( {{x^2} - x - 2} \right)
