The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the number of negative real roots of the cubic equation \( f(x) = 0 \), where the roots of \( f(x) \) are given by the expressions \( \frac{1+\alpha}{1-\alpha} \), \( \frac{1+\beta}{1-\beta} \), and \( \frac{1+\gamma}{1-\gamma} \), with \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \) being the roots of the cubic equation \( 3x^3 - 2x + 5 = 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze the given cubic equation.** We start with the cubic equation: \[ 3x^3 - 2x + 5 = 0 \] To determine the nature of the roots (whether they are real or complex), we can use the discriminant or evaluate the function at various points. **Step 2: Evaluate the cubic function at specific points.** Let's evaluate \( f(x) = 3x^3 - 2x + 5 \) at a few points: - \( f(-1) = 3(-1)^3 - 2(-1) + 5 = -3 + 2 + 5 = 4 \) (positive) - \( f(0) = 3(0)^3 - 2(0) + 5 = 5 \) (positive) - \( f(1) = 3(1)^3 - 2(1) + 5 = 3 - 2 + 5 = 6 \) (positive) Since \( f(-1) > 0 \), \( f(0) > 0 \), and \( f(1) > 0 \), we can check the derivative to find the critical points. **Step 3: Find the derivative and critical points.** The derivative of \( f(x) \) is: \[ f'(x) = 9x^2 - 2 \] Setting the derivative to zero to find critical points: \[ 9x^2 - 2 = 0 \implies x^2 = \frac{2}{9} \implies x = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2}}{3} \] **Step 4: Evaluate \( f(x) \) at the critical points.** - \( f\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}\right) \) and \( f\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}\right) \) need to be evaluated to check for local maxima or minima. Calculating \( f\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}\right) \): \[ f\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}\right) = 3\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}\right)^3 - 2\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}\right) + 5 \] Calculating this gives a negative value, indicating that there is a local minimum. **Step 5: Determine the nature of the roots.** Since \( f(x) \) does not change sign in the intervals we checked and only has one local minimum, we conclude that the cubic equation \( 3x^3 - 2x + 5 = 0 \) has no real roots (all roots are complex). **Step 6: Analyze the transformation.** The roots \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \) are complex, and we need to analyze the transformation \( \frac{1+\alpha}{1-\alpha} \): - If \( \alpha \) is complex, \( \frac{1+\alpha}{1-\alpha} \) will also be complex. - Thus, \( f(x) = 0 \) will have no negative real roots. ### Conclusion: The number of negative real roots of the equation \( f(x) = 0 \) is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
