Let f(x) be a quadratic polynomial
with integer coefficients such that f(0)
and f(1) are odd integers. Prove that
the equation f(x) = 0 does not have an
integer solution.
STATEMENT-1 : For every natural
number n ≥ 2, (1/(√1)) + (1/(√2)) + ..... (1/(√n)) > (√n)
and
STATEMENT-2 : For every natural
number n ≥ 2, (√(n(n + 1))) < n + 1
A polynomial f(x) with rational
coefficients leaves remainder 15, when
divided by x − 3 and remainder 2x + 1,
when divided by (x − 1)^2 . Find the
remainder when f(x) is divided by
(x − 3)(x − 1)^2 .
