KVPY2011MathematicsQuadratic Equation
Let f(x)=x¹²-x⁹+x⁴-x+1 . Which of the following is true?
Options
- Af is one-one
- Bf has a real root
- Cf ^ never vanishes.
- Df takes only positive values
Correct answer
D. f takes only positive values
Step-by-step solution
aligned f(x) &=x⁹ (x³-1 )+x (x³-1 )+1 positive for x 1 or x 0 &=1-x+x⁴-x⁹+x¹² positive for x (0,1) aligned f ( x ) is always positive
