Question 11 Mark
The principal value of $\tan^{-1}\Big(\tan\frac{3\pi}{5}\Big)$ is:
  1. $\frac{2\pi}{5}$
  2. $\frac{-2\pi}{5}$
  3. $\frac{3\pi}{5}$
  4. $\frac{-3\pi}{5}$
Answer
  1. $\frac{-2\pi}{5}$

Solution:

$\tan^{-1}\Big(\tan\Big(\frac{3\pi}{5}\Big)\Big)$

Let $\text{y}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\tan\Big(\frac{3\pi}{5}\Big)\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\tan\text{y}=\tan\Big(​​\frac{3\pi}{5}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\tan\text{y}=\tan(108^\circ)$

We know that the range of principal value of $\tan^{-1}$ is $\Big(\frac{-\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)$

Hence y = 108º not possible.

Now, $\tan\text{y}=\tan(108^\circ)$

$\Rightarrow\tan\text{y}=\tan(180^\circ-72^\circ)$

$\Rightarrow\tan\text{y}=-\tan(72^\circ)$ $(\text{as}\tan(180^\circ-\theta)=-\tan\theta)$

$\Rightarrow\tan\text{y}=\tan(72^\circ)$ $(\text{as}\tan(-\theta)=-\tan\theta)$

$\Rightarrow\tan\text{y}=\tan\Big(-72^\circ\times\frac{\pi}{180}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\tan\text{y}=\tan\Big(\frac{-2\pi}{5}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{-2\pi}{5}$

The value of $\sin^{-1}\bigg[\cos\Big(\frac{33\pi}{5}\Big)\bigg]$ is:

  1. $\frac{3\pi}{5}$

  2. $\frac{-7\pi}{5}$

  3. $\frac{\pi}{10}$

  4. $\frac{-\pi}{10}$

Answer
  1. $\frac{-\pi}{10}$

Solution:

We have, $\sin^{-1}\bigg[\cos\Big(\frac{33\pi}{5}\Big)\bigg]=\sin^{-1}\bigg[\cos\Big(6\pi+\frac{33\pi}{5}\Big)\bigg]$

$=\sin^{-1}\bigg[\cos\Big(\frac{3\pi}{5}\Big)\bigg]$

$\Big[\because\ \cos(2\text{n}\pi+\theta)=\cos\theta\Big]$

$=\sin^{-1}\Big[\cos\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}+\frac{\pi}{10}\Big)\Big]$

$=\sin^{-1}\Big(-\sin\frac{\pi}{10}\Big)$

$=-\sin^{-1}\Big(\sin\frac{\pi}{10}\Big)$

$[\because\ \sin^{-1}(-\text{x})=-\sin^{-1}\text{x}]$

$=-\frac{\pi}{10}\ \Big[\because\ \sin^{-1}(\sin\text{x})=\text{x},\ \text{x}\in\Big(\frac{-\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)\Big]$

Question 51 Mark
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.

The domain of the function cos-1(2x - 1) is:

  1. $[0,1]$

  2. $[-1,1]$

  3. $(-1,1)$

  4. $[0,\pi]$

Answer
  1. $[0,1]$

Solution:

We have, cos-1(2x - 1)

Now, we know that the domain of cos-1(x) is $-1\leq\text{x}\leq1$

$\therefore\ -1\leq2\text{x}-1\leq1$

Adding 1 to all terms, we get

$\Rightarrow\ 0\leq2\text{x}\leq2$

Dividing all terms by 2, we get

$\Rightarrow\ 0\leq\text{x}\leq1$

$\therefore\ \text{x}\in[0,1]$

Question 61 Mark
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.

If $\cos^{-1}\text{x}>\sin^{-1}\text{x},$ then:

  1. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}<\text{x}\leq1$

  2. $0\leq\text{x}<\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

  3. $-1\leq\text{x}<\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

  4. $\text{x}>0$

Answer
  1. $-1\leq\text{x}<\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Solution:

We have, $\cos^{-1}\text{x}>\sin^{-1}\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\pi}{2}-\sin^{-1}\text{x}>\sin^{-1}\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\pi}{2}>2\sin^{-1}\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\ \sin^{-1}\text{x}<\frac{\pi}{4}\ ....(\text{i})$

But $-\frac{\pi}{2}\leq\sin^{-1}\text{x}\leq\frac{\pi}{2}\ ....(\text{ii})$

From (i) and (ii), $-\frac{\pi}{2}\leq\sin^{-1}\text{x}<\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\ \sin\Big(-\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)\leq\text{x}<\sin\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\ -1\leq\text{x}<\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$=\tan\Bigg(\tan^{-1}\frac{\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25}}}{\frac{3}{5}}+\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{4}\Bigg)$

$=\tan\Bigg(\tan^{-1}\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{3}{5}}+\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{4}\Bigg)$

$=\tan\Big(\tan^{-1}\frac{4}{3}+\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{4}\Big)$

$=\tan\bigg(\tan^{-1}\frac{\frac{4}{3}+\frac{1}{4}}{1-\frac{1}{3}}\bigg)$

$=\frac{\frac{16+3}{12}}{\frac{2}{3}}$

$=\frac{19}{8}$

$ \Rightarrow \sin ^{ -1 } \left(\frac { 3 }{ 5 } \times \frac { 3 }{ 5 } +\frac { 4 }{ 5 } \times \frac { 4 }{ 5 } \right)$

$ \Rightarrow \sin ^{ -1 } \left(\frac { 16 }{ 25 } +\frac { 9 }{ 25 } \right)$

$ \Rightarrow \sin ^{ -1 } \left(\frac { 25 }{ 25 } \right)$

We know that $\sin^{-1}\text{x}+\cos^{-1}\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\therefore\ \sin^{-1}\text{x}-\cos^{-1}\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{6}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}-\cos^{-1}\text{x}-\cos^{-1}\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{6}$

$\Rightarrow-2\cos^{-1}\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{6}-\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\Rightarrow-2\cos^{-1}\text{x}=-\frac{\pi}{3}$

$=\frac{\cot\text{y}+1}{\cot\text{y}-1}$

$=\frac{\frac{\cot^2\frac{\text{y}}{2}-1}{2\cot\frac{\text{y}}{2}}+1}{\frac{\cot^2\frac{\text{y}}{2}-1}{2\cot\frac{\text{y}}{2}}-1}$

$=\frac{\cot^2\frac{\text{y}}{2}+2\cot\frac{\text{y}}{2}-1}{\cot^2\frac{\text{y}}{2}-2\cot\frac{\text{y}}{2}-1}$

$=\frac{9+6-1}{9-6-1}$

The number of real solutions of the equation $\sqrt{1+\cos2\text{x}}=\sqrt{2}\cos^{-1}(\cos\text{x})$ in $\Big[\frac{\pi}{2},\pi\Big]$ is:

  1. $0$

  2. $1$

  3. $2$

  4. $\infty$

Answer
  1. $0$

Solution:

We have $\sqrt{1+\cos2\text{x}}=\sqrt{2}\cos^{-1}(\cos\text{x}),$ $\text{x}\in\Big[\frac{\pi}{2},\pi\Big]$

$\Rightarrow\ \sqrt{2\cos^2\text{x}}=\sqrt{2}\cos^{-1}(\cos\text{x})$

$\Rightarrow\ \sqrt{2}\cos\text{x}=\sqrt{2}\cos^{-1}(\cos\text{x})$

$\Rightarrow\ \cos\text{x}=\cos^{-1}(\cos\text{x})$

$\Rightarrow\ \cos\text{x}=\text{x}$

$[\because\ \cos^{-1}(\cos\text{x})=\text{x}]$

For $\text{x}\in\Big[\frac{\pi}{2},\pi\Big],\ \cos\text{x}\leq0$

$\therefore$ cosx = x is not possible for any value of x.

Question 231 Mark
$\sin\Big\{2\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{-3}{5}\Big)\Big\}$ is equal to:
  1. $\frac{6}{25}$
  2. $\frac{24}{25}$
  3. $\frac{4}{5}$
  4. $-\frac{24}{25}$
Answer
  1. $-\frac{24}{25}$

Solution:

Let $\cos^{-1}\Big(-\frac{3}{5}\Big)=\text{x},0\leq\text{x}\leq\pi$

Then, $\cos\text{x}=-\frac{3}{5}$
$\therefore\ \sin\text{x}=\sqrt{1-\cos^2\text{x}}=\sqrt{1-\Big(-\frac{3}{5}\Big)^2}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}=\frac{4}{5}$

Now,

$\sin\Big\{2\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{-3}{5}\Big)\Big\}=\sin(2\text{x})$

$=2\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}$

$=2\times\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{-3}{5}$

Question 241 Mark
If $ \frac{3\text{x}+1}{(\text{x}-1)(\text{x}+3)} = \frac{\text{A}}{\text{x}-1}+\frac{B}{\text{x}+3} $ then $ {\sin}^{-1} \frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}} :$

  1. $ \frac{\pi}{2}$
  2. $ \frac{\pi}{3}$

  3. $ \frac{\pi}{6}$

  4. $ \frac{\pi}{8}$

Answer
  1. $ \frac{\pi}{6}$

Solution:

We have,$ \frac{3\text{x}+1}{(\text{x}-1)(\text{x}+3)} = \frac{\text{A}}{\text{x}-1}+\frac{B}{\text{x}+3} $

⇒ 3x + 1 = A (x + 3) + B(x - 1)

Substitute x = 1 both sides

⇒ 3(1) + 1 = A(1 + 3) + 0 ⇒ A = 1

Substitute x = - 3x both sides

⇒ 3( -3) + 1 = 0 + B(-3 -1)

⇒ -8 - 4B ⇒ B = 2

Hence $ \sin^{-1}\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}=\sin^{-1}\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\pi}{6}$

  1. $0$
  2. $\frac{\text{a}}{2}$
  3. $\text{a}$
  4. $\frac{2\text{a}}{1-\text{a}^2}$
Answer
  1. $\frac{2\text{a}}{1-\text{a}^2}$

Solution:

$\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{a}}{1-\text{a}^2}\Big)+\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{1-\text{a}^2}{1+\text{a}^2}\Big)=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}}{1-\text{x}^2}\Big)$

Let, $\text{a}=\tan\theta\Rightarrow\theta=\tan^{-1}\text{a}$

$\sin^{-1}(\sin2\theta)+\cos^{-1}(\cos2\theta)=2\tan^{-1}(\text{x})$

$2\theta+2\theta=2\tan^{-1}(\text{x})$

$4\theta=2\tan^{-1}(\text{x})$

$2\tan^{-1}\text{a}=\tan^{-1}(\text{x})$

$\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{a}}{1-\text{a}^2}\Big)=\tan^{-1}(\text{x})$

$\text{x}=\frac{2\text{a}}{1-\text{a}^2}$

If $\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{a}}{1+\text{a}^2}\Big)+\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{1-\text{a}^2}{1+\text{a}^2}\Big)=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}}{1-\text{x}^2}\Big),$ where $\text{a},\ \text{x}\in[0,1]$ then the value of x is:
  1. $0$
  2. $\frac{\text{a}}{2}$
  3. $\text{a}$
  4. $\frac{2\text{a}}{1-\text{a}^2}$
Answer
  1. $\frac{2\text{a}}{1-\text{a}^2}$

Solution:

We have, $\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{a}}{1+\text{a}^2}\Big)+\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{1-\text{a}^2}{1+\text{a}^2}\Big)=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}}{1-\text{x}^2}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\ 2\tan^{-1}\text{a}+2\tan^{-1}\text{a}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}}{1-\text{x}^2}\Big)$

$\bigg[\because\ 2\tan^{-1}\text{a}=\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{a}}{1+\text{a}^2}\Big)=\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{1-\text{a}^2}{1+\text{a}^2}\Big)\bigg]$

$\Rightarrow\ 4\tan^{-1}\text{a}=2\tan^{-1}\text{x}$

$\Big[\because\ 2\tan^{-1}\text{x}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}}{1-\text{x}^2}\Big)\Big]$

$\Rightarrow\ 2\tan^{-1}\text{a}=\tan^{-1}\text{x}$

$\Big[\because\ 2\tan^{-1}\text{x}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}}{1-\text{x}^2}\Big)\Big]$

$\Rightarrow\ \tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{a}}{1-\text{a}^2}\Big)=\tan^{-1}\text{x}$

$\Big[\because\ 2\tan^{-1}\text{a}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{a}}{1-\text{a}^2}\Big)\Big]$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=\frac{2\text{a}}{1-\text{a}^2}$

Question 281 Mark
If ${ \sin }^{ -1 }\frac { \text{x} }{ 5 } +{ \text{cosec} }^{ -1 }\frac { 5 }{ 4 } $ then x is equal to:
  1. 1
  2. 4
  3. 3
  4. 5
Answer
  1. 3

Solution:

${ \sin }^{ -1 }\frac { x }{ 5 } +{ \text{cosec} }^{ -1 }\frac { 5 }{ 4 } =\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }$

$ \Rightarrow { \sin }^{ -1 }\frac { \text{x} }{ 5 } +{ \sin }^{ -1 }\frac { 4 }{ 5 } =\frac { \pi }{ 2 }$

$ \Rightarrow \sin^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{5}=\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin^{-1}\frac{4}{5}=\cos^{-1}\frac{4}{5}$

$ \Rightarrow \text{x}=5\sin\cos^{-1}\frac{4}{5}=5\sin\sin^{-1}\frac{3}{5}=3$

  1. $ \frac { \pi }{ 3 }$
  2. $ \frac { \pi }{ 4 }$
  3. $ \frac { \pi }{ 6 }$
  4. $ \frac { \pi }{ 9 }$
Answer

Solution:

We know the formula $ \tan^{-1}\text{a}+\tan^{-1}\text{b}=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac { \text{a}+\text{b} }{ 1-\text{ab} } \right)$

So $\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)+\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{1}{3}\big)=\tan^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)+\big(\frac{1}{3}\big)}{1-\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)}\Bigg)$

$=\tan^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{\big(\frac{5}{6}\big)}{\big(\frac{5}{6}\big)}\Bigg)=\tan^{-1}(1)=\frac{\pi}{4}$

  1. $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  2. $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  3. $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  4. $-\frac{\pi}{3}$

We have

$\alpha=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\sqrt3\text{x}}{2\text{y}-\text{x}}\Big),\beta=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}-\text{y}}{\sqrt3\text{y}}\Big)$

Now, $\alpha-\beta=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\sqrt3\text{x}}{2\text{y}-1}\Big)-\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}-\text{y}}{\sqrt3\text{y}}\Big)$

$=\tan^{-1}\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\frac{\sqrt3\text{x}}{2\text{y}-\text{x}}-\frac{2\text{x}-\text{y}}{\sqrt3\text{y}}}{1+{\frac{\sqrt3\text{x}}{2\text{y}-\text{x}}\times\frac{2\text{x}-\text{y}}{\sqrt3\text{y}}}}\end{pmatrix}$

$=\tan^{-1}\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\frac{3\text{xy}-4\text{xy}+2\text{y}^2+2\text{x}^2-\text{xy}}{\sqrt{3}\text{y}(2\text{y}-\text{x})+\sqrt{3}\text{x}(2\text{z}-\text{y})}}{\sqrt{3}\text{y}(2\text{y}-\text{x})}\end{pmatrix}$

$=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{3\text{xy}-4\text{xy}+2\text{y}^2+2\text{x}^2-\text{xy}}{2\sqrt3\text{y}^2-\sqrt3\text{xy}+2\sqrt3\text{x}^2-\sqrt3\text{xy}}\Big)$

$=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{y}^2+2\text{x}^2-2\text{xy}}{2\sqrt3\text{y}^2+2\sqrt3\text{x}^2-2\sqrt3\text{xy}}\Big)$

If two angles of a triangle are $ \tan ^{ -1 }{ (2) }$ and $ \tan ^{ -1 }{ (3) }$, then the third angle is:

  1. $ \frac { \pi }{ 4 }$

  2. $ \frac { \pi }{ 5 }$

  3. $ \frac { \pi }{ 6 }$

  4. $ \frac { \pi }{ 8 }$

Answer
  1. $ \frac { \pi }{ 4 }$

Solution:

Given two angles are $ \tan ^{ -1 }{ (2) }$ and $ \tan ^{ -1 }{ (3) }$. Now, (2) (3) > 1

$= \tan ^{ -1 }{ (2) } +\tan ^{ -1 }{ (3) }$

$ =\pi +\tan ^{ -1 }{ \cfrac { 2+3 }{ 1-2\times 3 }}$

$ =\pi +\tan ^{ -1 }{ (-1) } =\pi -\frac { \pi }{ 4 } =\frac { 3\pi }{ 4 }$

Hence the third angle is $ \pi -\frac { 3\pi }{ 4 } =\frac { \pi }{ 4 }π$

  4. $\text{x}>0$
Answer
The correct option is $C$
$
-1 \leq x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
$
Explanation for the correct options:
Step 1. Find the intervals in which $x$ lies:
We have given $\cos ^{-1} x > \sin ^{-1} x$, and we know that,
$
\begin{array}{l}
\sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2} \\
\Rightarrow \cos ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin ^{-1} x \\
\text { But } \frac{\pi}{2}-\sin ^{-1} x > \sin ^{-1} x \\
\Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2} > 2 \sin ^{-1} x \\
\Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{4} > \sin ^{-1} x \quad \ldots \ldots \ldots(1)
\end{array}
$
Also $-\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \sin ^{-1} x \leq \frac{\pi}{2} \ldots \ldots(2)$

Question 371 Mark
If $\cos^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{3}+\cos^{-1}\frac{\text{y}}{2}=\frac{\theta}{2},$ then, $4\text{x}^2-12\text{xy}\cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}+9\text{y}^2=$
  1. $36$
  2. $36-36\cos\theta$
  3. $18-18\cos\theta$
  4. $18+18\cos\theta$
Answer
  1. $18-18\cos\theta$

Solution:

$\cos^{-1}\text{x}+\cos^{-1}\text{y}=\cos^{-1}\Big(\text{xy}\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}\sqrt{1-\text{y}^2}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\cos^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{3}+\cos^{-1}\frac{\text{y}}{2}=\frac{\theta}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\cos^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{\text{x}}{3}\times\frac{\text{y}}{2}-\sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{3}\Big)^2}\sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{\text{y}}{2}\Big)^2}\Bigg)=\frac{\theta}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{xy}}{6}-\sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2}{9}\Big)}\sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{\text{y}^2}{4}\Big)}=\cos\frac{\theta}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{xy}-6\cos\frac{\theta}{2}}{6}=\frac{\sqrt{9-\text{x}^2}\sqrt{4-\text{y}^2}}{6}$

$\Rightarrow\text{xy}-6\cos\frac{\theta}{2}=\sqrt{9-\text{x}^2}\sqrt{4-\text{y}^2}$

Taking square on both sides,

$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2\text{y}^2-12\text{xy}\cos\frac{\theta}{2}+36\cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}=\big(9-\text{x}^2\big)\big(4-\text{y}^2\big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2\text{y}^2-12\text{xy}\cos\frac{\theta}{2}+36\cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}=36-9\text{y}^2-4\text{x}^2+\text{x}^2\text{y}^2$

$\Rightarrow4\text{x}^2+9\text{y}^2-12\text{xy}\cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}=36\Big(1-\cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow4\text{x}^2+9\text{y}^2-12\text{xy}\cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}=36\Big(1-\frac{1+\cos\theta}{2}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow4\text{x}^2+9\text{y}^2-12\cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}=18-18\cos\theta$

Question 391 Mark
If the polynomial equation $\text{a}_0\text{x}^{\text{n}}+\text{a}_{\text{n}-1}\text{x}^{\text{n}-1}+\text{a}_{\text{n}-2}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}+...\text{a}_2\text{x}^2+\text{a}_1\text{x}+\text{a}_0=0$ n positive integer,has two different real roots $\alpha$ and $\beta,$ then between $\alpha$ and $\beta,$ the equation $\text{n}\text{a}_{\text{n}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-1}+(\text{n}-1)\text{a}_{\text{n}-1}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}+...+\text{a}_1=0$ has:
  1. Exactly one root.
  2. Almost one root.
  3. At least one root.
  4. No root.
Answer
  1. At least one root.

Solution:

We observe that, $\text{n}\text{a}_{\text{n}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-1}+(\text{n}-1)\text{a}_{\text{n}-1}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}+...+\text{a}_1=0$ is the derivative of the polynomial $\text{a}_{\text{n}}\text{x}^{\text{n}}+\text{a}_{\text{n}-1}\text{x}^{\text{n}-1}+\text{a}_{\text{n}-2}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}+...\text{a}_2\text{x}^2+\text{a}_1\text{x}+\text{a}_0=0$Polynomial function is continuous everywhere in R and concequently derivative in R.

Therefore, $\text{a}_{\text{n}}\text{x}^{\text{n}}+\text{a}_{\text{n}-1}\text{x}^{\text{n}-1}+\text{a}_{\text{n}-2}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}+...\text{a}_2\text{x}^2+\text{a}_1\text{x}+\text{a}_0$ is continuous on $\alpha,\beta$ and derivative on $\alpha,\beta.$

Hence, it is satisfies the both the conditions of Rolle's theorem.

By algebric interpretation of Roll's theorem, we know that between any two roots of a function f(x), there exists atleast one root of its derivative.

Hence, the equation $\text{n}\text{a}_{\text{n}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-1}+(\text{n}-1)\text{a}_{\text{n}-1}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}+...+\text{a}_1=0$ will have atleast one root between $\alpha$ and $\beta.$
