4-2.Quadratic Equations and Inequations
normal
Number of rational roots of equation $x^{2016} -x^{2015} + x^{1008} + x^{1003} + 1 = 0,$ is equal to
A
$0$
B
$1008$
C
$2015$
D
$2016$
Solution
Let $\mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{q}}$ is a root, then $\mathrm{p}$ and $\mathrm{q}$ both are divisors of $1$
$\therefore $ ${p}, {q} \in\{-1,1\}$ but $f(-1) \neq 0, f(1) \neq 0$
so, equation has no rational roots.
