1. One of the integer's digits is a solution to the equation [tex][tex]$x^3+x^2+11x=0$[/tex][/tex].
2. The sum of the integer's digits is greater than or equal to 4.

A) 5
B) 8
C) 10
D) 19



Answer :

To determine how many integers between 10 and 80 (inclusive) meet both conditions, we can follow these steps:

1. Solve the Equation [tex]\( x^3 + x^2 + 11x = 0 \)[/tex]:

Start by factoring the equation:
[tex]\[ x^3 + x^2 + 11x = 0 \][/tex]

First, factor out the common [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x(x^2 + x + 11) = 0 \][/tex]

This yields the solutions:
[tex]\[ x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x^2 + x + 11 = 0 \][/tex]

Next, solve the quadratic equation [tex]\( x^2 + x + 11 = 0 \)[/tex].

The quadratic formula is:
[tex]\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \][/tex]

For our quadratic equation [tex]\( x^2 + x + 11 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ a = 1, \quad b = 1, \quad c = 11 \][/tex]

Calculate the discriminant:
[tex]\[ b^2 - 4ac = 1^2 - 4(1)(11) = 1 - 44 = -43 \][/tex]

Since the discriminant is negative, [tex]\( x^2 + x + 11 = 0 \)[/tex] has no real solutions. Therefore, the only real solution to the original equation is:
[tex]\[ x = 0 \][/tex]

Now, we need to find integers between 10 and 80 that have a digit equal to 0 and for which the sum of the digits is at least 4.

2. List Relevant Integers That Have a Digit of 0:

Consider integers between 10 and 80 that have a digit 0:
[tex]\[ 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 \][/tex]

3. Check If Their Digit Sum is At Least 4:

- [tex]\(10\)[/tex]: [tex]\(1 + 0 = 1\)[/tex] (does not satisfy the condition)
- [tex]\(20\)[/tex]: [tex]\(2 + 0 = 2\)[/tex] (does not satisfy the condition)
- [tex]\(30\)[/tex]: [tex]\(3 + 0 = 3\)[/tex] (does not satisfy the condition)
- [tex]\(40\)[/tex]: [tex]\(4 + 0 = 4\)[/tex] (satisfies the condition)
- [tex]\(50\)[/tex]: [tex]\(5 + 0 = 5\)[/tex] (satisfies the condition)
- [tex]\(60\)[/tex]: [tex]\(6 + 0 = 6\)[/tex] (satisfies the condition)
- [tex]\(70\)[/tex]: [tex]\(7 + 0 = 7\)[/tex] (satisfies the condition)

The integers that meet both conditions are: 40, 50, 60, 70

4. Count the Relevant Integers:

There are 4 integers that meet both conditions:
[tex]\[ 40, 50, 60, 70 \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{4} \][/tex]
