𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥^3 + 𝑐𝑥^2 + 2𝑥
Suppose 𝑓 is differentiable on ℝ and has two roots. Show that 𝑓′ has at least one root.
Rewrite the function in the form: . One root of equation is . Thus, equation has only one root. It means that and . The root of the latter is Otherwise, we receive two roots or no roots. The derivative of the function is: . Roots of equation are: . Thus, there are two roots of equation
