Answer» Solution :Let`f(X)= x^(2)- m ( m - 3) x + m = 0` (i) Both the roots are real and DISTINCT. So, `D gt`0 `rArr(m - 3)^(2) - 4m gt ` 0 or`m^(2) - 10m + 9 gt`0 or`(m -1) (m - 9) gt` 0 `rArrm in (-infty, 1 ) cup (9, infty)` (ii) Both the roots are equal. So `D= 0` `rArrm = 9 or m = 1` (iii) Both the roots are imaginary. So, `D lt`0 `rArr( m - 1)(m - 9) lt` 0 `rArrm in` ( 1, 9) (iv) The roots are oppsite in sing . Hence, the product of root is negative. So, `m lt rArrm in (-infty, 0)` (v)Roots are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign . Hence, SUM of roots is zero as well asD`ge 0. ` So, m `in (-infty,1) cup (9, infty)` and`m - 3 = 0, i.e., m = 3` Hence, so such m exists. (vi) Both the roots are positive. Hence, `D lt ` 0, and both the sum and the product of roots are positive. So, m - 3`gt 0, m gt` 0and m `(-infty, 1] cup [9, infty)` m `in [ 9, infty)` (vii) At least one root is positive . Hence, either one rootis positive or both roots are positive . So, m`in (-infty, 0) cup [9, infty)` (ix) One root is smaller then 2 and the other root is greater than 2, i.e., 2 lies between the roots. So, `f(2) lt` 0 `rArr4 -2 (m - 3) + m lt` 0 `rArrm gt ` 10 (x) Both the roots are greater then 2. So, `f(2) gt 0, D ge 0, - (b)/(2A) gt` 2 `rArrm lt` 10 and m `in ( - infty, 1] cup [9, infty)` and m - 3 `gt`4 `rArrm in` [ 9, 10) (xi) Both the roots are smaller then 2. So, `f(2) gt 0, ge 0, - (b)/(2a) lt` 2 `rArrm in (-infty, 1]` Exactly one root lies in (1, 2) . So, `f(1) f(2) lt` 0 `rArr4(10 - m ) lt` 0 `rArrm in (10, infty)` (xiii) Both the roots lie in the interval (1, 2) . Then, D `ge 0 rArr(m - 1) (m - 9) ge` 0 `rArrm LE 1 or ge `9(1) Also `f(1) gt `0 and `f(2) gt 0 rArr10 lt ` m(2) and`1lt-(b)/(2a) lt 2 rArr 5 lt m lt 7`(3) Thus, no such m exists. (xvi)Cace I : Exactly one root lies in (1, 2 ). So, `f(1)f(2) lt 0 rArrm gt `10 Case II: Both the roots lie in (1, 2). S0, from (xiii), m `in phi`. Hence, m `in (10, infty`). For one root greater than 2 and the other root smaller than 1, `f(1)lt` 0 and `f(2) lt` 0 But `f(1) = 4. Thus, no such m exists. |
