Q.25 If all the roots (zeros) of the polynomial f (x) = x5 + ax4 + bx3 + cx2 + dx – 420 are integers larger than 1,
then f (4) equals
(A) 0 (B*) 12 (C) – 6 (D) – 12
Sol. (B)
f must have 5(not necessarily distinct) roots d1, d2, ....... d5. f factors as (x – d1) (x – d2) (x – d3) (x – d4)
(x – d5). The product d1d2d3d4d5 must be equal to 420, which factors as 22 · 3 · 5 · 7. All of the roots are
integers larger than 1, so they must be 2, 2, 3, 5 and 7.
So f(x) = (x – 2)2 (x – 3) (x – 5) (x – 7). Putting in x = 4 gives 12. ]
