If c 0 and 4 a+c 2 b , then a x^2-b x+c=0 has a root in which one of the following intervals?
Options
- A(0,2)
- B(2,3)
- C(3,4)
- D(-2,0)
Correct answer
A. (0,2)
Step-by-step solution
Let f(x)=a x^2-b x+c f (2)=4 a -2 ~b + c 0 (given) f (0)= c 0 (given) So, we can see that sign of f(x) changes, when x changes from 0 to 2 , so it has a root in the interval (0,2) .
