Let \(a_n, a_{n-1}, \ldots, a_1, a_0 \in \mathbb{C}\) and \(f(x)=a_n x^n+a_{n-1} x^{n-1}+\ldots+\) \(a_1 x+a_0\) is a polynomial. If the polynomial \(f(x)\) is monic then

  1. A \(a_n \neq 0\)
  2. B \(a_n=1\)
  3. C \(a_n>0\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{n}} < 0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(a_n=1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{n}}+\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{n}-1} \times{ }^{\mathrm{n}-1}+\ldots . .+\mathrm{a}_1 \times \mathrm{a}_0\) here polynomial \(f(x)\) is a monic polynomial should be 1 \[ \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{n}}=1 \]
