Number of integral values of \( x \) satisfying the inequation \( \frac{x}{x+2} \leq \frac{1}{|x|} \) is (a) 2 (b) 8 (c) 4

Answer»

\(\frac{x}{x+2}\leq\frac1{|x|}\) 

⇒ \(\frac{x|x|}{x+2}\leq1\) (Multiplying both sides by positive value |x|)

I6 x = -3, then \(\frac{x|x|}{x+2}=\frac{-3\times3}{-3+2}=\frac{-9}{-1}=9>1\) (Not satisfies)

(\(\therefore\) I6 x < -2, then x|x| < 0 & x + 2 < 0  ⇒ \(\frac{x|x|}{x+2}>1\))

x = -2 is not possible

x = -1 then \(\frac{x|x|}{x+2} = \frac{-1\times1}{-1+2}=\frac{-1}1=-1<1\) (Satisfies)

x = 0 then \(\frac{x|x|}{x+2} = 0<1\) (Satisfies)

x = 1 then \(\frac{x|x|}{x+2} = \frac13<1\) (Satisfies)

x = 2 then \(\frac{x|x|}{x+2} = \frac{2\times2}{2+2}=\frac44=1\) (Satisfies)

I6 x > 2 then x|x| = x2 > x + 2

⇒ \(\frac{x|x|}{x+2} >1\) (Not satisfies)

\(\therefore\) Number of integral values which satisfies given inequality are 4.
