The quartic x^4-2 x^3-3 x^2+2 x+2=0 has
Options
- Aonly one natural solution
- Btwo integral solutions
- Ctwo real and two non real solutions
- D( 3 +1) is largest solution
Correct answer
D. ( 3 +1) is largest solution
Step-by-step solution
We have x^4-2 x^3-3 x^2+2 x+2=0 aligned & (x^4-3 x^2+2 )-2 x (x^2-1 )=0 & (x^2-2 ) (x^2-1 )-2 x (x^2-1 )=0 & (x^2-1 ) (x^2-2 x-2 )=0 & x=1 or -1 aligned or x= 2 4+8 2 =1 3 Hence solutions are x=-1, 3 -1,1, 3 +1
