JEE Main 2019Application Of Derivatives Question with Solution

From: JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th April Morning Slot

Question

If ƒ(x) is a non-zero polynomial of degree four, having local extreme points at x = –1, 0, 1; then the set
S = {x R : ƒ(x) = ƒ(0)}
Contains exactly :

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
Ctwo irrational and one rational number.

Step-by-step explanation

Local extreme points of f(x) is at x = –1, 0, 1.

f'(x) = 0 has three solutions x = –1, 0, 1.

f'(x) = k(x + 1)x(x - 1)



f(x) =

Also given that

ƒ(x) = ƒ(0)

= C

= 0

x = 0, ,

x has two irrational and one rational value.
