Number of integers in the range of c so that the equation `x ^(3) - 3x +x =0` has all its roots real and distinct is:

A

2

B

3

C

4

D

5

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The given equation is `x^(3)-3x+a=0` or `x^(3)-3x+a=0`.We observe that the number of real roots of the given equation is same as the number of points of intersection the curves `y=x^(3)-3x` and y=-a.
These two curves intersect at three distinct points if `-2 lt a lt 2`.So, the integral values of a in this range are -1,0 and 1.
