Question

If 2a + 3b + 6c =0, then at least one root of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 lies in the interval

Options

A.(0, 1)
B.(1, 2)
C.(2, 3)
D.(1, 3)

Solution

Let f′(x) = ax2 + bx + c ⇒ f(x) = + cx + d
⇒   f(x) = (2ax3 + 3bx2 + 6cx + 6d), Now f(1) = f(0) = d, then according to Rolle′s theorem
⇒   f′(x) = ax2 + bx + c = 0 has at least one root in (0, 1)
