Hint: Start by taking the given equation as function of x or f(x) and differentiate with respect to x . Check whether f’(x) obtained is increasing or decreasing , if it is increasing then it will have at most 1 real root.
Complete step-by-step answer:
Given,
Let
Differentiating with respect to x , we get
Here we will use the formula
As for any value of x, f’(x) can never be negative because of the square term involved.
f’(x) is a strictly increasing function and has at most 1 real root .
And we know , if a polynomial of odd degree, in this case it is 3, has exactly 1 real root.
So, f(x) = has exactly one real root.
We see that the results found do not satisfy the conditions.
Therefore, k does not exist.
So , option C is the correct answer.
Note: Students must know the principle of differentiation , nature of function , graph plotting etc in order to solve such similar problems. Questions can also be asked in such a manner which would demand the application of Lagrange’s mean value theorem(LMVT) , Intermediate value theorem(IVT) , Rolle’s theorem, and are recommended to be practised very well as they make the approach to the solution very easy meanwhile giving valuable information about the function too.
