If b gt a, then the equation (x-a)(x-b)-...

If `b gt a`, then the equation `(x-a)(x-b)-1=0` has
(a) Both roots in `(a, b)` `" "` (b) Both roots in `(-oo, a)`
(c) Both roots in `(b, +oo)` `" "` (d) One root in `(-oo, a)` and the other in `(b, +oo)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given equation is `(x-a)(x-b)-1=0`
Let `" "f(x)= (x-a)(x-b)-1`
`" "f(a)=-1`
and `" "f(b)=-1`
Graph of `f(x)` is concave upwards, hence `a and b` lie between the roots.

Also `b gt a`, then one root is in `(-oo, a)` and the other is in `(b, +oo)`.
