Question

The set of all real values of λ for which the quadratic equation λ 2 + 1 x 2 - 4 λ x + 2 = 0 always have exactly one root in the interval ( 0 , 1 ) is :, − 3 , − 1, 0 , 2, ( 1 , 3 ], ( 2 , 4 ]

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

f 0 · f 1 ≤ 0 ⇒ 2 λ 2 + 1 - 4 λ + 2 ≤ 0 ⇒ 2 λ 2 - 4 λ + 3 ≤ 0 ⇒ λ - 1 λ - 3 ≤ 0 ⇒ λ ∈ 1 , 3 But at λ = 1 , both roots are 1 . So, λ ≠ 1
