Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(64\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: \(16 x^4+16 x^3-4 x-1=0=f(x)\) has a multiple root. Let \(\alpha=\beta\) be the multiple root. Since \(\alpha\) is root of \(f(x) \quad \therefore f(\alpha)=0\) \(\Rightarrow 16 \alpha^4+16 \alpha^3-4 \alpha-1=0\) ...(i) As \(\alpha\) is multiple root…
