The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the properties of an odd cubic polynomial and its derivative. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Odd Cubic Polynomial**: An odd cubic polynomial can be expressed in the form: \[ f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d \] However, since it is an odd function, we have: \[ f(-x) = -f(x) \] This implies that the coefficients of the even powers (like \(b\) and \(d\)) must be zero. Therefore, the polynomial simplifies to: \[ f(x) = ax^3 + cx \] 2. **Finding the Derivative**: The derivative of the polynomial is: \[ f'(x) = 3ax^2 + c \] 3. **Setting the Derivative to Zero**: We are given that the derivative vanishes at two different values of \(x\). Setting the derivative to zero gives: \[ 3ax^2 + c = 0 \] Rearranging this, we find: \[ x^2 = -\frac{c}{3a} \] 4. **Analyzing the Condition for Real Roots**: For \(x^2\) to have real solutions (two different values), the right side must be positive: \[ -\frac{c}{3a} > 0 \] This implies that \(c\) and \(a\) must have opposite signs: - If \(a > 0\), then \(c < 0\) - If \(a < 0\), then \(c > 0\) 5. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option (A)**: Coefficient of \(x^3\) and \(x\) in the polynomial must be of the same sign. **(Incorrect)** - **Option (B)**: Coefficient of \(x^3\) and \(x\) in the polynomial must be of different signs. **(Correct)** - **Option (C)**: The values of \(x\) where the derivative vanishes are of the same sign. **(Incorrect)** - **Option (D)**: The values of \(x\) where the derivative vanishes are both positive. **(Incorrect)** ### Conclusion: The correct answer is **(B)**: The coefficient of \(x^3\) and \(x\) in the polynomial must be of different signs.
