Let n be an odd integer then the number of real roots of polynomial equation
Pn(x)= 1+2x+3x2+4x3............(n+1)xn is
(a) 0         (b) n      (c) 1      (d) none

Since it is an objective type question, put n=3.

y = 4x3+3x2+2x+1

dy/dx = 12x2+6x+2 > 0 for any x since its discriminant is less than 0.

Hence y is an increasing function and hence it will cut the x-axis only once.

Hence no. of real roots is 1.
