ax3 + bx2 + cx + d is a polynomial on real x over real coefficients a, b, c, d wherein a ≠ 0. Which of the following statements is true?
d can be chosen to ensure that x = 0 is a root for any given set a, b, c.
Choosing d = 0 gives P(0) = 0 for every allowed a, b and c. The other statements fail: a(x−r)³ has identical roots; a real cubic always has a real root; and c = 0 does not guarantee three real roots, as x³+1 demonstrates.
