Q48 / 68 · NEST (NISER) 2023 (Session 1) · Mathematics
Let $f:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function and $P$ be a polynomial of degree 4 with coefficients in $\mathbb{R}$. If $P(f(x))=0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$, then
- A$f(x)=0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$.
- Correct answerB$f$ is a constant function.
- Cfor all continuous functions $g$, there exists $x \in[0,1]$ such that $P(g(x))=0$.
- Correct answerD$P$ has at most two roots which do not belong to $\mathbb{R}$.
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'B', 'D'.
