The document contains the following: 1. It shows that if the sum of the coefficients of f(x) is 0, then 1 is a root of the equation f(x) = 0. 2. It further shows that (x - 1) is a factor of f(x). Similarly, x - 1 is a factor of both f'(x) and f"(x). 3. Therefore, the equation f(x) = 0 has three equal roots of 1.

Sum of the coefficients of f(x) is o

⇒ 1 is a root of .f(x) = 0
⇒ (x - l) is a factor off(x).
For the same reason x - 1 is also a factor of f ' ( x) and f "< x) ·
Thus f(x) = 0 has three equal roots and it is 1.
