∴ g(x) = x2 – 3 + a + a 2 x + C and g(0) = –1 ⇒ C = –1
∴ g(x) = x2 – 3 + a + a2 x − 1
So, g(x) is continuous and differentiable at x = 0.
(C) g(x) = f′(0) ⇒ x2 – 3 + a + a 2 x − 1 = 0 which clearly has two distinct roots.
(D) g(–1) g(1) = –(3 + a + a2) ≤ 0 (∵ 3 + a + a2 ≥ 0)
Thus g(x) = 0 has at least one roots in [–1, 1].
Also, –1 ≤ f(1) ≤ 1. So, f(1) can be a root of g(x) = 0
