Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(11\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(x) = x^4-4 x^3+3 x^2+2 x-2\) \(P(1) = 1-4+3+2-2 = 0\) \(P'(x) = 4x^3-12x^2+6x+2\) \(P'(1) = 4-12+6+2 = 0\) Since \(P(1)=0\) and \(P'(1)=0\), \(x=1\) is a root of multiplicity at least 2. So, \(\alpha=1, \beta=1\). Factoring \(P(x)\) by \((x-1)^2 = x^2-2x+1\):…
