Equation 3√[−2(x+3)] −1=|x+3|+a has exactly two real roots , then the maximum possible value of |[a]| is _________. { where [.] denotes the greatest integer function } .

Answer»

\(3\sqrt{[-2(x +3)] - 1} = |x + 3| + a\)

For existence

\([-2(x + 3)] - 1 \ge 0\)

⇒ \([-2(x +3)] \ge 1\)

⇒ \(-2(x + 3) \ge 1\)

⇒ \(x + 3 \le \frac{-1}2\)

⇒ \(x \le \frac {-1}2 -3\)

⇒ \(x \le \frac{-5}2\)

Also \(|x + 3| \ge \frac 12\)

\(|x + 3| + a \ge \frac 12 + a\)
