Question

The set of values of a for which the equationblank x to the power of 3 end exponent minus 3 x plus a equals 0 has three distinct real roots is

  1. (negative infinity comma infinity)    
  2. (−2, 2)    
  3. ( −1, 1)    
  4. None of these    

The correct answer is: (−2, 2)


    f open parentheses x close parentheses equals x to the power of 3 end exponent minus 3 x plus a
    f to the power of ´ end exponent left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 3 x to the power of 2 end exponent minus 3
    rightwards double arrow f to the power of ´ end exponent left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 0 text  at end text
    x equals plus-or-minus 1
    Coefficient ofblank x to the power of 3 end exponent is positive. f(x) has three distinct real roots. That is, f(−1) > 0 and f(1) < 0.
    So we have ⇒ −1 + 3 + a > 0 and 1 − 3 + a < 0 ⇒ a > −2 and a < 2 ⇒ a ∈(−2, 2)
