Question

x4 –4x –1 = 0 has

  1. atmost one positive real root    
  2. atmost one negative real root    
  3. atmost two real roots    
  4. none of these .    

The correct answer is: atmost two real roots


    Let f (x) = x4 –4x –1
    + – –
    \ atmost one positive real root.
    f (–x) = x4 + 4x –1
    + + –
    \ atmost one negative real root.
    \ atmost two real root.
    Hence (c) is the correct answer.
