let f(x) = x^3 - 3bx + c, where b and c are real constants.
Prove that
If 4b^3 - c^2 > 0 , then the equation f(x) = 0 has three real roots

i know that b > 0 ,
i just do not know , why f(b^0.5) < 0

if f(b^0.5) < 0 , that means c < 2b^1.5
how do i know that ?

✔ 最佳答案
f(x) = x^3 - 3bx + c
f'(x)=3x^2-3b
Consider f'(x)=0
x=√b
f(√b)=-2b√b+c
f(-√b)=2b√b+c
f(0)=c
f(+∞ )=+∞
f(-∞ )=-∞
The roots can only lies in the interval (i) +∞ to √b (ii) √b to -√b (iii) -√b to -∞
In order tp have three real roots, we need
f(√b)<0=>-2b√b+c<0=>c^2<4b^3=>4b^3 - c^2 > 0
f(-√b)>0=>2b√b+c>0=>4b^3 - c^2 > 0
Note: Since 2b√b is positive, from -2b√b<c<2b√b, we get |2b√b|>|c|, so we can take the square of both sides
