look man question is confusing me . f (x) is parabola and f'(x) is staight line there is no. value of x for which condition of having same sign satisfyies .
u know f(x) will either meet x-axis at 1 point or it will intersect it at two points where as any values of a f'(x) will cut x-axis at one point only ie. x = a/2 so for all x it can't be that f(x) and f'(x) have same sign .
If the question is that for right part of f(x) then only cond applies then the solution is as follows ::
f(x) =x^2 -ax +2
f'(x) = 2x -a
f'(x) change sign at x = a/2
so x=a/2 should be d only root of f(x)
f (a/2 )=0
this gives a =-2Sqrt(2)
g' (x) = f(x) f'' (x) + ( f(x) ' )2 = 2 x^2 -2ax +4 +4x^2 +a^2 -4ax
= 6x^2-6ax +4 +a^2
D= 36a^2 -24 (4+a^2) putting a = -2Sqrt(2) D= 0
so g'(x) is zero at one point
and g(x) has one min point
He wrote f"(x), not f'(x)...
f"(x) in this case = 2.
Thus f(x) > 0.
We have f'(x) = 2x - a, so putting it equal to 0,
x = a/2. Sign changes across this checkpoint. By wavy curve method, for f(x) > 0, x > a/2. Meaning the domain of f(x) is (a/2, infinity).
g(x) = f(x).f'(x) = (x2 - ax + 2)(2x - a).
Will solve further. Be back in 20 minutes.














tell me yr question!!!
