The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the polynomial function \( f(x) = 2x^5 + 5x^4 + 10x^3 + 10x^2 + 10x + 10 \) and determine the integer \( a \) such that all zeros of the polynomial lie in the interval \( (a, a+1) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Polynomial**: We have the polynomial \( f(x) = 2x^5 + 5x^4 + 10x^3 + 10x^2 + 10x + 10 \). 2. **Check the Degree and Behavior**: The polynomial is of degree 5, which means it can have up to 5 real roots. Since the leading coefficient (2) is positive, the polynomial will approach \( +\infty \) as \( x \to +\infty \) and \( -\infty \) as \( x \to -\infty \). 3. **Determine the Nature of the Function**: We can see that the polynomial is strictly increasing. This is because the derivative \( f'(x) = 10x^4 + 20x^3 + 30x^2 + 10 \) is always positive for all \( x \) (since all terms are non-negative). 4. **Evaluate the Function at Specific Points**: We will evaluate \( f(x) \) at \( x = -2 \) and \( x = -1 \): - Calculate \( f(-2) \): \[ f(-2) = 2(-2)^5 + 5(-2)^4 + 10(-2)^3 + 10(-2)^2 + 10(-2) + 10 \] \[ = 2(-32) + 5(16) + 10(-8) + 10(4) + 10(-2) + 10 \] \[ = -64 + 80 - 80 + 40 - 20 + 10 = -34 \] - Calculate \( f(-1) \): \[ f(-1) = 2(-1)^5 + 5(-1)^4 + 10(-1)^3 + 10(-1)^2 + 10(-1) + 10 \] \[ = 2(-1) + 5(1) + 10(-1) + 10(1) + 10(-1) + 10 \] \[ = -2 + 5 - 10 + 10 - 10 + 10 = 3 \] 5. **Identify the Interval for Roots**: Since \( f(-2) < 0 \) and \( f(-1) > 0 \), and knowing that \( f(x) \) is strictly increasing, we can conclude that there is exactly one root in the interval \( (-2, -1) \). 6. **Determine the Integer \( a \)**: The root lies in the interval \( (a, a+1) \). Since the root is between \( -2 \) and \( -1 \), we can deduce that \( a = -2 \). 7. **Find \( |a| \)**: The problem asks for \( |a| \). Thus, we calculate: \[ |a| = |-2| = 2 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( |a| \) is \( 2 \).
