Let \(a\) be an integer such that all the real roots of the polynomial \(2 x^{5}+5 x^{4}+10 x^{3}+10 x^{2}+10 x+10\) lie in the interval \((a, a+1) .\) Then, \(| a |\) is equal to ...... .

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(4\)
  4. D \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(2 x^{5}+5 x^{4}+10 x^{3}+10 x^{2}+10 x+10=f(x)\) Now \(f(-2)=-34\) and \(f(-1)=3\) Hence \(f(x)\) has a root in \((-2,-1)\) Further \(f^{\prime}(x)=10 x^{4}+20 x^{3}+20 x^{2}+20 x+10\)…
