Manipal MET2011MathematicsQuadratic Equation
If 2 a+3 b+6 c=0 , then at least one root of the equation a x^2+b x+c=0 lies in the interval
Options
- A(1,2)
- B(0,1)
- C(2,3)
- D(3,4)
Correct answer
B. (0,1)
Step-by-step solution
Let f(x)=a x^2+b x+c Again, let f(x)= f(x) d x= a 3 x^3+ b x^2 2 +c x At x=0 , f(0)=0 Agin, at x=1 aligned & f(1)= a 3 + b 2 +c & = 2 a+3 b+6 c 6 =0 aligned Hence, one root lies between (0,1) .
