The number of distinct real roots of the equation \(x^{5}\left(x^{3}-x^{2}-x+1\right)+x\left(3 x^{3}-4 x^{2}-2 x+4\right)-1=0\) is

  1. A \(8\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x ^{5}\left( x ^{3}- x ^{2}- x +1\right)+ x \left(3 x ^{3}-4 x ^{2}-2 x +4\right)-1=0\) \(( x -1)^{2}( x +1)\left( x ^{5}+3 x -1\right)=0\) Let \(f(x)=x^{5}+3 x-1\) \(f^{\prime}(x)>0 \forall x \in R\) Hence \(3\) real distinct roots.
