Correct answer: B, C
Step-by-step Solution:
-
Find the function and its derivative. The given function is , for . We need to find the points where its derivative, , vanishes. We use the product rule for differentiation, , with and . So, the derivative is:
-
Set the derivative to zero. We want to find the values of for which . If , we can divide the equation by : The points where vanishes are the solutions to this equation. Note that if , then for some integer . In this case, . The equation becomes , which is , a contradiction. So, cannot be zero at a solution.
-
Analyze the solutions in the given intervals. We need to find the number of solutions to in the intervals and for any natural number . Let's define a new function . We are looking for the roots of .
Case 1: For in this interval, we have: This means that lies in the first or third quadrant (depending on whether is even or odd). In either case, for , we have . Therefore, for , . Also, since , we have . Thus, is the sum of two positive terms, which means for all . Hence, there are no points in the interval where vanishes.
Case 2: For in this interval, we have: This means that lies in the second or fourth quadrant. Let's analyze the function in this interval. First, find the derivative of : Since for any , we have . This shows that is a strictly increasing function on the interval .
Now, let's examine the behavior of at the boundaries of this interval: As , . In this case, . So, . As , . In this case, . So, . Since is a natural number, .
Since is continuous and strictly increasing from to a positive value on the interval , by the Intermediate Value Theorem, there must be exactly one unique point in this interval where .

Evaluate the options.
- A: A unique point in the interval : This is false. We found no points in this interval.
- B: A unique point in the interval : This is true. We found exactly one point in this interval.
- C: A unique point in the interval : The interval is the union of , , and the point . We found no roots in the first sub-interval and one unique root in the second. At , . Therefore, there is exactly one root in the entire interval . This statement is true.
- D: Two points in the interval : This is false. We found only one point.
Thus, the correct options are B and C.
