INEQUATION & EQUATION

EXERCISE 2(C)

1. (1)

y = |x + 2|
x
-2 3
y = 6 - 2x
2. (2)
Same as above.

3. (3)
C2 C1
x = 1
C1: If x 1 (a)
Then, 2 (x + 1) > x + 4
x>2 (b)
(a) n (b) 2
x 2, (C 1)
C2: If x < 1 (a) 1 0
Then, 2(x + 1) > x + 4
x<3 (b)
(a) n (b)
x , 3 2,
C 1 C 2
So required x = 3

4. (2)
Same as above take three cases.

5. (5)
x 2 x 3 0 2 x 3
x 3, 2 2,3
So (a + b) = 5

6. (4)

(2) x 4x 5 < 0 x 5 x 1 0 1 x 5 (2)
(1) n (2)
x 1,5
So, m = 0, n = 4 (n m) = 4

7. (4)
Same as question 6.

Domain x 3
So x 3,10
So number of integer n = 7

x 2x 17 2x 17 0
x 1 2x 17 0
x , 8.5 1,
Also x < 10
No. of integers positive are
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
No. of positive integers are 9.

12. (6)
Domain: x 1,9 & on solving x 1,5
So (m + n) = 6

13. (5)
Domain (a) x 2 2x 2y 0 x 2 2x 2y 0
x 6 x 4 0 4 x 6 (a)
(b) 8x x 2 0 x 2 8x 0 x 0,8 (b)
(a) n (b) x 0, 6 (1)
2 2
(b) x 2x 2y 8x x x y (2)
(1) & (2) x 0, 4
So answer is (5)

14. (1)
As function is increasing so equation change at most one solution

So y = 1, 9, 10, 1 x = 5, 3, 4, 7
So x, y 5,1 or 7, 1

So x = 2, y = 0
So (2, 0)

Solving (1) & (2) we get
x 2 & y 1
Also x y > 0 & x + y > 0
Only solution which satisfy is
x=2 & y=1
So one solution

x1 + x2 x3 x4 = 1 (1)
x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 x4 = 2 (2)
3x1 + 5x2 + 5x3 3x4 = 6 (3)
Here (1) & (2) gives
x2 + 4x3 = 1 (4)
Also 2 2 (3) gives
x2 + 4x3 = 0 (5)
From (4) & (5)
No solution
