View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Find = sum of all coefficients
For a polynomial , the sum of all coefficients is .
So,
Now simplify each factor:
Hence,
So,
- Find
Given
We expand the integrand near .
Since
and
we get
Therefore,
Hence,
So,
- Use the common root condition
The second equation is
Substitute and :
Now the first equation is
We are told these two quadratics have a common root.
Since the options ask for a fixed ratio , the only consistent possibility is that the first quadratic is proportional to the second one, i.e.
for some nonzero real constant .
Thus,
So,
- Check options
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore, the correct option is B.
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: B
Our derived answer: B
They agree.
