Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-1: 1: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since \(x=1\) is a twice repeated root of \(f(x)=a x^3+a x^2\) \(+b x+c=0\). Hence \(f(-1)=0\) and \(f^{\prime}(-1)=0\) Now \(f(-1)=0\) \[ \Rightarrow-a+a+b+c=0 \Rightarrow c=b \] Now \(f^{\prime}(x)=3 a x^2+2 a x+b\)…
