Find the values of a for which the expression `(ax^2+3x-4)/(3x-4x^2+a)` assumes all real values for all real values of x |
|
Answer» Let `f(x) = (ax^(2) + 3x - 4)/(3x - x^(2) +a)` `rArr (a + 4y) x^(2) + (3-3y) x - 4 - ay = 0` Now, x is real. So D `ge` 0 `rArr 9 (1 -y)^(2) + 4 (a + 4y) (4 + ay )ge`0 `rArr 9 ( + 16 a)y^(2) + (-18 + 4a^(2) + 64)y + (9 + 16a )ge 0, AA y in R (because y` all real values) `rArr 9 + 16a gt 0 and (4a^(2) + 46)^(2) - 4 (9 + 16 a)^(2) le 0` `rArr a gt - (9)/(16)` and `(4a^(2) + 46 - 18 - 32 a) (4a^(2) + 46 + 18 32a )le 0` `rArr a gt - (9(/(16) and (a^(2) - 8a + 7) (a^(2) + 8a + 16) le 0` `rArr a gt - (9)/(16) and 1 le a le 7 or a = - 4` `rArr 1 le a le 7` |
