Answers & Solutions

Q.1 Answer:
one root in (−∞, a) and other root in (b, ∞)
Solution:
 Let f (x) = (x − a)(x − b) − c
Use coefficient of x2 > 0 f (a) = −c = f (b) < 0.

Q.2 Answer:
(−∞, 5/9]
Solution:

One +ve root means other root is 0 or negative this means product of roots is non-positive.
D ≥ 0 and product of roots ≤ 0 ⇒ (k + 1)2 − (9k − 5) ≥ 0 and 9k − 5 ≤ 0
⇒ k 2 − 7k + 6 ≥ 0 and ≤ 5/9
⇒ (k − 1)(k − 6) ≥ 0 and k ≤ 5/9
Thus, k ≤ 5/9

Q.3 Answer:
a2 k 2 + 2abk + ac < 0
Solution:

Use : (k − α)(k − β) have the opposite signs, where α, β are roots of ax2 + 2bx + c = 0.
(k 2 − kβ − kα + αβ ) < 0
(k 2 + k2b
a
+ ac ) < 0
​ ​

a2 k 2 + 2abk + ac < 0

Q.4 Answer:
b>0
Solution:

As parabola open upwards, a > 0. Also, for x = 0ax2 + bx + c = c < 0.

c<0
the product of x1 × 2 < 0 as they have opposite signs.
Since ×1 × 2 = c/a, c/a < 0.
Since c < 0 a must be > 0 for the condition c/a<0 to hold.
Answer should be (1) a > 0.

Q.5 Answer:
a+b+c>0
Solution:

Suppose α, β > 1, α < β be roots of ax2 + bx + c = 0, then ax2 + bx + c > 0 if x < α or

x > β< 0 if α < x < β
Thus, a + b + c > 0.

Q.6 Answer:
3
Solution:

𝑓𝑥 = 4𝑥 2 - 16𝑥 + 𝑡

Opening upward parabola

𝑓1 > 0, 𝑓2 < 0, 𝑓3 > 0

𝑓1 > 0 ⇒ 4 - 16 + 𝑡 > 0 ⇒ 𝑡 > 12

𝑓2 < 0 ⇒ 16 - 32 + 𝑡 < 0 ⇒ 𝑡 < 16

𝑓3 > 0 ⇒ 36 - 48 + 𝑡 > 0 ⇒ 𝑡 > 12

⇒ 12 < 𝑡 < 16 ⇒ 𝑡 = 13, 14, 15

Hence, the number of integral values 𝑡 = 13,14,15 is 3 .

Q.7 Answer:
at least two real roots
Solution:

For real roots,

𝑝2 - 12𝑞 ≥ 0 ...(i)

𝑟2 + 4𝑞 ≥ 0 ...(ii)

𝑠2 - 8𝑞 ≥ 0 ...(iii)

If 𝑞 > 0, then (ii) is always true.

If 𝑞 < 0, then (i) and (iii) are always true.

 So, the equation has atleast two real roots.

Q.8 Answer:
For 𝑏 < 0, there are no solutions
Solution:

𝑏 < 0 → no solution

𝑏 = 0 → two solutions

0 < 𝑏 < 4 → four solutions

𝑏 = 4 → three solutions

Q.9 Answer:
144
Solution:

Here, a and b are roots of the equation x2 − 5cx − 6d = 0

−(−5)c
∴a+b= 1 = 5c ...(1)
And
⇒ a ⋅ b = −61 d = −6 d … (2)
​

Now, c and d are roots of the equation x2 − 5ax − 6d = 0

∴ c + d = −(−5a)1 = 5a...(3)
​

⇒ cd = −61 b = −6 b...(4)
​

Adding (1) and (2),

⇒ a + b + c + d = 5c + 5a
⇒ b + d = 4c + 4a
⇒ b + d = 4(c + a)
5c
Now dividing (1) by (2) we get, ⇒ a+b
c+d =
​

5a
​

2 2
⇒ 5a + 5ab = 5c + 5 cd
⇒ 5a2 + 5(−6 d) = 5c2 + 5(−6 b)
 ⇒ 5a2 − 30 d = 5c2 − 30 b
⇒ 5 (a2 − c2 ) = −30 b + 30 d
⇒ (a + c)(a − c) = −6 b + 6 d
⇒ (a + c)(a − c) = −6(5c − a) + 6(5a − c)
⇒ (a + c)(a − c) = −30c + 6a + 30a − 6c
⇒ (a + c)(a − c) = −36c + 36a
⇒ (a + c)(a − c) = 36(a − c)
⇒ a + c = 36 Substituting ⇒ b + d = 4(36)
∴ b + d = 144
Substituting value of a + c in equation (5) we get,
⇒ b + d = 4(36)
∴ b + d = 144

Q.10 Answer:
a<2
Solution:

f (x) = x2 − 2ax + a2 + a − 3 = 0
f (3) > 0, α + β < 6, Δ ≥ 0
⇒ a2 − 5a + 6 > 0, a < 3, −4a + 12 > 0 ⇒ a < 2 or a > 3 ⇒ a < 2

Q.11 Answer:
k≥6
Solution:

Let f (x) = x2 + 2(k + 1)x + 9k − 5

Let α, β be the roots of f (x) = 0 The equation f (x) = 0 will have both negative roots, if
(i) Disc ≥ 0
(ii) α < 0, β < 0 i.e., α + β < 0 and (iii) α.β > 0 Now, Disc ≥ 0 ⇒ 4(k + 1)2 − 36k +
20 > 0 ⇒ k 2 − 7k + 6 ≥ 0 ⇒ (k − 1)(k − 6) ≥ 0
⇒ k ≤ 1 or k ≥ 6
… (i) α + β < 0 ⇒ −2(k + 1) < 0 ⇒ k + 1 > 0 ⇒ k > −1
and α.β > 0 ⇒ 9k − 5 > 0 ⇒ k > 59 ​

from (i), (ii) and (iii), we get k ≥ 6

Q.13 Answer:
Both 1 and 2
Solution:

x2 + 6x − 7 < 0
⇒ (x + 7)(x − 1) < 0
⇒ x = (−7, 1)
⇒ A = {−6, −5, −4, −3, −2, −1, 0}
⇒ x2 + 9x + 14 > 0
⇒ (x + 7)(x + 2) > 0
⇒ x = (−∞, −7) ∪ (−2, ∞)
⇒ B = R − {−7, −6, −5, −4, −3, −2}
 So A ∩ B= (−2, 1)
A ∪ B = (−7, −2)

Q.14 Answer:
have negative real parts
Solution:

Let a > 0, b > 0, c > 0

Given equation ax2 + bx + c = 0
we know that D = b2 − 4ac and
2
x = −b± 2ab −4ac ​

Let b2 − 4ac > 0, b > 0

If a > 0, c > 0 then b2 − 4ac < b2
⇒ Roots are negative
2
Let b2 − 4ac < 0, then x = −b±i 2a4ac−b
​

⇒ roots are imaginary and have negative real part.

(∵ b > 0)

Q.15 Answer:
(−2, 2, 4)
Solution:

We have, ∣∣x2
​ − x − 6∣∣ = x + 2 Now, we have to consider two cases, Case I: When x ≤ −2 or
​

x ≥ 3 ∴ ∣∣x2 − x − 6∣∣ = x + 2
​ ​

⇒ x2 − x − 6 = x + 2 ⇒ x2 − 2x − 8 = 0 or x2 − 4x + 2x − 8 = 0
⇒ (x − 4)(x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = −2, 4
Case II: When −2 < x < 3
⇒ − (x2 − x − 6) = x + 2 ⇒ −x2 + x + 6 = x + 2 ⇒ −x2 = −4
⇒ x2 = 4 ⇒ x = ±2
Hence, the roots are (−2, 2, 4)
