The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the quadratic equation \( px^2 + qx + r = 0 \) and the conditions given. ### Step 1: Understanding the conditions We have the following conditions: 1. \( p + q + r < 0 \) 2. \( p - q + r < 0 \) 3. \( r > 0 \) ### Step 2: Evaluate the function at specific points We will evaluate the quadratic function \( f(x) = px^2 + qx + r \) at \( x = 0 \), \( x = 1 \), and \( x = -1 \). - **At \( x = 0 \)**: \[ f(0) = r > 0 \] This means the function is positive at \( x = 0 \). - **At \( x = 1 \)**: \[ f(1) = p + q + r < 0 \] This means the function is negative at \( x = 1 \). - **At \( x = -1 \)**: \[ f(-1) = p - q + r < 0 \] This means the function is negative at \( x = -1 \). ### Step 3: Analyzing the intervals for roots From the evaluations: - Since \( f(0) > 0 \) and \( f(1) < 0 \), there is at least one root in the interval \( (0, 1) \). - Since \( f(-1) < 0 \) and \( f(0) > 0 \), there is at least one root in the interval \( (-1, 0) \). Let’s denote the roots as \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \): - One root \( \alpha \) lies in \( (-1, 0) \). - The other root \( \beta \) lies in \( (0, 1) \). ### Step 4: Finding the greatest integer values - The greatest integer less than \( \alpha \) (which is between -1 and 0) is: \[ [\alpha] = -1 \] - The greatest integer less than \( \beta \) (which is between 0 and 1) is: \[ [\beta] = 0 \] ### Step 5: Calculating the final result Now, we need to find: \[ [\alpha] + [\beta] = -1 + 0 = -1 \] Thus, the value of \( [\alpha] + [\beta] \) is \( \boxed{-1} \).

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the quadratic equation \( px^2 + qx + r = 0 \) and the conditions given. ### Step 1: Understanding the conditions We have the following conditions: 1. \( p + q + r < 0 \) 2. \( p - q + r < 0 \) 3. \( r > 0 \) ...
