Let \(f(x)=x^2+x \sin x-\cos x\). Then

  1. A \(f(x)=0\) has at least one real root
  2. B \(f(x)=0\) has no real root
  3. C \(f(x)=0\) has at least one positive root
  4. D \(f(x)=0\) has at least one negative root
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(f(x)=0\) has at least one negative root

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f^{\prime}(x)=2 x+x \cos x+\sin x+\sin x=2(x+\sin x)+x \cos x\) \(\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x) > 0 \quad \forall x > 0, \quad f^{\prime}(x)
