Given P(x) = x4 +ax3 + bx2 +cx + d such that x = 0 is the only real root of P' (x) =0. If P(–1) < P(1), then in the interval [–1,1] - (1) P (–1) is the minimum and P
(1) is the maximum of P
(2) P(–1) is not minimum but P(1) is the maximum of P
(3) P(–1) is the minimum but P(1) is not the maximum of P
(4) Neither P(–1) is the minimum nor P(1) is the maximum of P
