Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • [d] we have $ x^{4}-29x^{2}+100\le 0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ (x^{2}-4)(x^{2}-25)\le 0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 4\le x^{2}\le 25 $
$ \Rightarrow $
$ x\in [-5,-2]\cup [2,5] $
Integers satisfying above are $ \pm $ 5, $ \pm $ 4, $ \pm $ 3, $ \pm $ 2. So there are 8 integers.
