The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the values of \( k \) for which the equation \( f(x) = x^3 - 3x + k = 0 \) has exactly one negative root. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the function**: We start with the function given by the equation: \[ f(x) = x^3 - 3x + k \] 2. **Find critical points**: To analyze the behavior of the function, we first find its derivative: \[ f'(x) = 3x^2 - 3 = 3(x^2 - 1) = 3(x - 1)(x + 1) \] Setting the derivative equal to zero gives us the critical points: \[ f'(x) = 0 \implies x = -1, 1 \] 3. **Evaluate the function at critical points**: Next, we evaluate \( f(x) \) at these critical points: - For \( x = -1 \): \[ f(-1) = (-1)^3 - 3(-1) + k = -1 + 3 + k = k + 2 \] - For \( x = 1 \): \[ f(1) = (1)^3 - 3(1) + k = 1 - 3 + k = k - 2 \] 4. **Determine conditions for exactly one negative root**: - For the function to have exactly one negative root, it must cross the x-axis only once in the negative region. This occurs when: - \( f(-1) > 0 \) (the function is above the x-axis at \( x = -1 \)) - \( f(1) < 0 \) (the function is below the x-axis at \( x = 1 \)) From our evaluations: - \( f(-1) > 0 \) gives: \[ k + 2 > 0 \implies k > -2 \] - \( f(1) < 0 \) gives: \[ k - 2 < 0 \implies k < 2 \] 5. **Combine the inequalities**: We need to satisfy both conditions: \[ -2 < k < 2 \] 6. **Conclusion**: The values of \( k \) for which the equation has exactly one negative root are: \[ k \in (-2, 2) \] ### Final Answer: The values of \( k \) for which the equation \( f(x) = x^3 - 3x + k = 0 \) has exactly one negative root are: \[ k \in (-2, 2) \]
