For the equation sin x + xcos x = 0, in which interval is there at least one solution?

  1. (-π/2, 0)
  2. (0, π)
  3. (π, 3π/2)
  4. (0, π/2)

Correct answer: (0, π)

Solution

In the interval (0, ext{π}), the function ext{sin} x is positive and ext{x cos} x is negative, indicating that the sum can equal zero at least once due to the Intermediate Value Theorem, confirming the existence of a solution.
