当多项式

P(x)=(x1)1(x2)2(x3)3(x10)10 \begin{gathered} P(x)=(x-1)^1(x-2)^2 \\ {}\cdot (x-3)^3\cdots \\ {}\cdot (x-10)^{10} \end{gathered}

的根从数轴上移除后,剩下的是 1111 个互不相交的开区间的并。在其中多少个区间上 P(x)P(x) 为正?

When the roots of the polynomial

P(x)=(x1)1(x2)2(x3)3(x10)10 \begin{gathered} P(x)=(x-1)^1(x-2)^2 \\ {}\cdot (x-3)^3\cdots \\ {}\cdot (x-10)^{10} \end{gathered}

are removed from the number line, what remains is the union of 1111 disjoint open intervals. On how many of these intervals is P(x)P(x) positive?

答案:C
知识点:多项式奇偶性
难度评级:1380
解答:

因子 (xk)(x-k) 的指数是 kk,所以 PP 的符号只在 x=kx=kkk 为奇数时改变,也就是在 1,3,5,7,91,3,5,7,9 处改变。当 x>10x\gt 10 时每个因子都为正,所以 P>0P\gt 0。向左扫描并在每个奇数根处翻转符号,正区间为 (10,)(10,\infty)(9,10)(9,10)(6,7)(6,7)(5,6)(5,6)(2,3)(2,3)(1,2)(1,2),共六个区间。

因此,正确答案是 C

The exponent of the factor (xk)(x-k) is k,k, so the sign of PP changes at x=kx=k only when kk is odd, i.e. at 1,3,5,7,9.1,3,5,7,9. For x>10x\gt 10 every factor is positive, so P>0.P\gt 0. Sweeping left and flipping at each odd root, the positive intervals are (10,),(10,\infty), (9,10),(9,10), (6,7),(6,7), (5,6),(5,6), (2,3),(2,3), and (1,2)(1,2) — six intervals in all.

Thus, the correct answer is C.
