Detailed Solution

Let  f(x)=0 has two roots say  x=r1  nad x=r2, where  r1,r2[a,b]
 f(r1)=f(r2)
Hence, there must exist some  c(r1,r2), where  f'(c)=0
But   f'(x)=x6x5+x4x3+x2x+1
for  x1,f'(x)=(x6x5)+(x4x3)+(x2x)+1>0
for  x1,f'(x)=(1x)+(x2x3)+(x4x5)+x6>0
Hence,  f'(x)>0 for all x.
 Rolle’s theorem fails. 
f(x)=0  cannot have two or more roots.
