Quafratic Equations - II

Consequently the original equation is equivalent to the collection of equations,

We find that

Q-5: If aÎz and the equation (x-a) (x-10) +1=0 has integral roots, then what is the value of ‘a’?
Solution:
As both x and a are integers and hence given equation implies that either x-a =1 and x-10= -1 or x-a = -1 and x-10=1.
x=9 and hence a=8 or x=11 and a=12.
Therefore possible values of a’s are 8, 12.
Q-6: Find the values of ‘a’ for which inequality  is true for at least one
Solution: The required condition will be satisfied if – The quadratic expression (quadratic in tanx).

1)      f (x) =  has positive discriminant and ,

2)      At least one root of f(x) =0 is positive as tanx>0, for all

For (1) discriminant >0



For (2) we first find the condition, that both the roots of

(t=tanx) are non positive for which,

Sum of roots<0, product of roots 0

- (a+1) <0 and – (a-3) 0 -1 <a 3

Condition (2) will be fulfilled of a -1or a>3            - - - - - - - - - -(b)

Required value of a is given by intersection of (a) and (b)
Hence
Q-7: Solve the equation- where (x) and [x] are the integer just less than or equal to x and just greater than or equal to x respectively.
Case 1: If x I,
Then (x) = [x]                                           - - - - - - - - (1),

Case 2: if x l

Then (x) = [x]-1



Hence the solution of original equation is, x=0, .
Q-8: If the equation  has real roots a, b, c being real numbers and if m and n are real number such that m2>n>0 then prove that the equation has real roots.
Solution: Since roots of the equation  are real



and discriminant of

Hence roots of equation  are real.
Q-9 If graph of function  is strictly above the x-axis then show that -15<a<-2

Solution: Y has to be positive

16x2+8(a+5) x-(7a+5) = +ve

Since sign of first term is +ve therefore the expression will be +ve if D<0.


Q-10: For real roots what is the solution of the  equation

Solution:

Divide by  where t is +ve being exponential function.



The other value  is rejected as t is +ve.
Q-11: Obtain a quadratic expression in x and solve for it if

Here



Because,




But clearly x is positive


Q-12: Solve for x
Solution: Here A.M of {x-1, x-5} =A.M of {x-2, x-4} =x-3, put x-3=y then,
x-1= y+2, x-2=y+1, x-4=y-1, x-5=y-2.



The equation becomes,
