Question

Let a, b, c be non-zero real numbers such that ;
(1 + cos8x)(ax2 + bx + c) dx = (1 + cos8x)(ax2 + bx + c) dx, then the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 has -

Options

A.no root in (0, 2)
B.at least one root in (0, 2)
C.a double root in (0, 2)
D.none

Solution

(1+ cos8x)(ax2 + bx + c) dx
 = (1+ cos8x)(ax2 + bx + c) dx +
(1 + cos8x)(ax2 + bx + c) dx
(1 + cos8x)(ax2 + bx + c) dx = 0
since 1 + cos8 x is always positive
= f(x)dx = 0 (b > a)
means f(x) is positive in some portion and negative
in some portion from a to b
∴   ax2 + bx + c is positive and negative in (1, 2)
∴  ax2 + bx + c has a root in (1, 2)
