Q19) Function f(x) is a continuous function defined for all real values of x, such that f(x) = 0 only for two distinct real values of x. It is also known that
f(6) + f(8) = 0
f(7).f(9) > 0
f(6).f(10) < 0
f(0) > 0 and f(1) < 0
How many of the following statements must be true?
I. f(1).f(2).f(3) < 0
II. f(3).f(5).f(7).f(9) > 0
III. f(7).f(8) < 0
IV. f(0) + f(1) + f(9) + f(10) > 0(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) 4
-
f(6) + f(8) = 0
indicates a root lies between 6 and 8
f(7).f(9) > 0
indicates f7 and f9 lie on the same side of the X axis
So, we can say
(a) root lies bw 6 and 7, and both 7 and 9 are either +ve or negative
f(6)f(10) 0 and f(1) < 0
indicates a root lies between 0 and 1
f(x) = 0 only for two distinct real values of x << Only two distinct roots. Both have been discovered.
f(0) > 0
hence it begins as a curve above the X axis, somewhere between (0,1) has a root, then becomes -ve. The second root arrives between (6,7) and beyond this curve again becomes +veSo
I. f(1).f(2).f(3) < 0 << All three values are negative. Hence, true
II. f(3).f(5).f(7).f(9) > 0 << f3,f5 are -ve whereas f7,f9 are +ve Hence true
III. f(7).f(8) < 0 << Both are +ve hence false
IV. f(0) + f(1) + f(9) + f(10) > 0 << f0,f9,f10 are +ve while f1 is -ve
However it being a continuous curve with two roots, it cannot be predicted what will be the negative value. so not a "must be true" statement.So ans 2
