Let \(f(x)=x^{4}-4 x^{3}+4 x^{2}+c, c \in R .\) Then,

  1. A \(f(x)\) has infinitely many zeros in (1,2) for all \(c\)
  2. B \(f(x)\) has exactly one zero in (1,2) if \(-1 < c < 0\)
  3. C \(f(x)\) has double zeros in (1,2) if \(-1 < c < 0\)
  4. D whatever be the value of \(c, f(x)\) has no zero in (1,2)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(f(x)\) has exactly one zero in (1,2) if \(-1 < c < 0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \[ \begin{array}{ll} f(x) & =x^{4}-4 x^{3}+4 x^{2}+c \\ f(1) & =1+c \\ \text { and } \quad f(2) & =2^{4}-4(2)^{3}+4(2)^{2}+c \end{array} \]…
