Location of Roots Question 1:
If \( \lambda \epsilon R \) is such that the sum of the cubes of the roots of the equation, \( x^{2} + (2 - \lambda) x + (10 - \lambda) = 0 \) is minimum, then the magnitude of the difference of the roots of this equation is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Location of Roots Question 1 Detailed Solution
\( \alpha, \beta = \dfrac{\lambda - 2 \pm \sqrt{4-4\lambda + \lambda^2 - 40 + 4\lambda}}{2} = \dfrac{\lambda - 2 \pm \sqrt{\lambda^2 - 36}}{2} \).
The magnitude of the difference of the roots is clearly \( |\sqrt{\lambda^2-36}| \).
We have, \( \alpha^3 + \beta^3 = \dfrac{(\lambda-2)^3}{4} + \dfrac{3(\lambda-2)(\lambda^2 - 36)}{4} = \dfrac{(\lambda-2)(4\lambda^2 - 4\lambda - 104)}{4} = (\lambda-2)(\lambda^2-\lambda-26) \).
This function attains its minimum value at \( \lambda = 4 \).
Thus, the magnitude of the difference of the roots is clearly \( |i\sqrt{20}|=2\sqrt{5} \).
So the correct answer is option B.
Location of Roots Question 2:
The number of real roots of the equation \(5+\left| { 2 }^{ x }-1 \right| ={ 2 }^{ x }\left( { 2 }^{ x }-2 \right) \) is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Location of Roots Question 2 Detailed Solution
\(g(t)=5+\left| t-1 \right|\)
\(f(t)={ t }^{ 2 }-2t\)
From the graph
\(g(t)\) and \(f(t)\) intersect at two points, but one value of \(t\) is negative, and only one value of \(t\) is positive.
So, number of real roots is \(1\)
Location of Roots Question 3:
Let \(f(x)=a_5 x^5 + a_4 x^4 + a_3 x^3+ a_2 x^2+a_1 x\), where \(a_i's\) are real and \(f(x)=0\) has a positive root \(\alpha_0\). Then
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Location of Roots Question 3 Detailed Solution
\(f(0)=0\)
Hence
\(f(x)\) has a real root \(\alpha_{0}>0\).
Now \(f(x)\) is continuous on \([0,\alpha_{0}]\) and differentiable on \((0,\alpha_{0})\).
Hence there exists a \(\alpha_{1}\epsilon[0,\alpha_{0}]\) such that
\(f'(\alpha_{1})=0\) ...(Rolle's Theorem).
Consider \(f'(x)\).
It is continuous on \([0,\alpha_{1}]\) and differentiable on \((0,\alpha_{1})\).
Hence there exists a \(\alpha_{2}\epsilon[0,\alpha_{2}]\) such that
\(f'(\alpha_{2})=0\) ...(Rolle's Theorem).
And this can be repeated till \(f^{n}=constant\).
Hence all of the above is true.
Location of Roots Question 4:
Find all those roots of the equation \(z^{12} - 56z^6 - 512 = 0\) whose imaginary part is positive.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Location of Roots Question 4 Detailed Solution
\((z^{6}-28)^{2}=1296\)
\(z^{6}-28=\pm36\)
\(z^{6}=64\) and \(z^{6}=-8\)
\(z^{3}=\pm8\)
\(z=2\) and \(z=-2\) ... (i)
\(z^{6}=2^{3}.e^{i(2k-1)\pi}\)
\(z=2^{\frac{1}{2}}(e^{i\frac{(2k-1)\pi}{6}})\) where \(k=1,2,3..6\)
Location of Roots Question 5:
If \(2\) and \(3\) are the roots of cubic equation \(2x^3+mx^2-13x+n=0\), then the values of \(m\) and \(n\) are:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Location of Roots Question 5 Detailed Solution
if \(\alpha, \beta, \gamma\) are roots of a cubic equation then,
cubic equation is written as;
\(x^3-(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)x^2+(\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\alpha\gamma)x-\alpha\beta\gamma=0\)
Given, \(2\) and \(3\) are roots of the equation \(2x^3+mx^2-13x+n=0\)
Let \(\alpha\) be the third root.
\(5+\alpha =-\frac{m}{2}\) ....(1)
Also, \(6+2\alpha+3\alpha=-\frac{13}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow \alpha=-\frac{5}{2}\)
Also, \(6\alpha=-\frac{n}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow n=30\)
Now, by (1), \(m=-5\)
Location of Roots Question 6:
If \(1\) lies between the roots of the equation \(3x^{2}-3\sin \alpha x-2\cos ^{2}\alpha = 0\), then \(\alpha\) lies in the interval
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Location of Roots Question 6 Detailed Solution
\(f(x)=3(x-a)(x-b)\)
\(f(1)=3(1-a)(1-b)=\) -ve as \(a < 1 < b\)
on \(f(1)=3-3 \sin \alpha -2(1-\sin^{2}\alpha ) < 0\)
or \(2\sin^{2}\alpha -3\sin\alpha +1 < 0\)
\((2 \sin \alpha -1)(\sin \alpha -1) < 0\)
\(2(\sin \alpha -\dfrac{1}{2})(\sin \alpha -1) < 0\)
\(\therefore \dfrac{1}{2} < \sin \alpha < 1\). Now \(\sin 30^{\circ}= \sin 150^{\circ}=\dfrac{1}{2}\)
\(\therefore \alpha\) lies between \(\dfrac{\pi }{6} \text{ to } \dfrac{5\pi }{6}\) excluding \(\dfrac{\pi }{2}\) as \(\sin\alpha\) is not equal to 1 and hence (d) is correct.
Location of Roots Question 7:
The equation \(\|x+2\|=-2\) has.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Location of Roots Question 7 Detailed Solution
\(\|x+2\|=-2\)
\(y=\|x+2\|\,,y=-2\)
From the figure, No. of intersection points\(=0\)
\(\therefore\) No. of solutions\(=0\)
Location of Roots Question 8:
The number of solutions of the equation \(\left | x+1 \right |^{\log _{x+1}\left ( 3+2x-x^{2} \right )}= \left ( x-3 \right )\left | x \right |\) is/are
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Location of Roots Question 8 Detailed Solution
Thus, \(x+1> 0\)
\(\therefore \left | x+1 \right |= x+1\) ...(1)
Also, \(3+2x-x^{2}> 0\)
\(\Rightarrow x^{2}-2x-3< 0\)
or \(\left ( x-3 \right )\left ( x+1 \right )< 0\)
\(\therefore -1< x< 3\)
or \(-1< x< 0\) and \(0< x< 3\) ...(2)
Hence, the given equation by (1) reduces to
\(3+2x-x^{2}= \left ( x-3 \right )\left | x \right |\)
[\(\because { a }^{ \log _{ a }{ x } }=x\)]
Now, \(\left | x \right |= -x\) if \(x<0\), \(\left | x \right |= x\) when \(x>0\)
When \(-1< x< 0\)
then \(3+2x-x^{2}= \left ( x-3 \right )\left ( -x \right )\)
or \(3+2x-x^{2}= -x^{2}+3x\)
\(\therefore x= 3 \notin \left [ -1,0 \right ]\)
When \(0< x< 3\), then by (2)
\(3+2x-x^{2}= \left ( x-3 \right )x= x^{2}-3x\)
or \(2x^{2}-5x-3= 0 \therefore x= -\frac{1}{2}, 3\)
These values do not lie in \(0< x< 3\).
Hence, the equation has no solution.
Ans: C
Location of Roots Question 9:
Determine the nature of the roots of the equation 2x2 + 5x + 5 = 0
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Location of Roots Question 9 Detailed Solution
Given:
The equation 2x2 + 5x + 5 = 0
Concept Used:
The quadratic equation Ax2 + Bx + C = 0
If roots are imaginary, B2 - 4ac < 0
Calculation:
Comparing of given equation
Now, A = 2, B = 5 & C = 5
⇒ (5)2 - 4 × 5 × 5 < 0
⇒ 25 - 100 < 0
⇒ -75 < 0
∴ The roots are imaginary and distinct.
Location of Roots Question 10:
The integral value of a, for which the equation,
(x2 + x + 2)2 - (a - 3)(x2 + x + 2)(x2 + x + 1) + (a - 4)(x2 + x + 1)2 = 0
has real roots, is _______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 6
Location of Roots Question 10 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
(x2 + x + 2)2 - (a - 3)(x2 + x + 2)(x2 + x + 1) + (a - 4)(x2 + x + 1)2 = 0
Dividing the equation by (x2 + x + 1)2 and we get
⇒ \(\left ( \frac{x^{2} + x + 2}{x^{2}+x+1} \right )^{2} \) - (a - 3 )\(\left ( \frac{x^{2} + x + 2}{x^{2}+x+1} \right ) \) + (a - 4) = 0
Let \(\left ( \frac{x^{2} + x + 2}{x^{2}+x+1} \right ) \) = p (p >1) , the equation becomes -
p2 - (a - 3)p + (a - 4) = 0
⇒ p2 - (a - 4)p + p + (a - 4) = 0
⇒ (p - 1)(p - a + 4) = 0
⇒ p = 1 ( ignore it because p > 1) and p = a - 4
So \(\left ( \frac{x^{2} + x + 2}{x^{2}+x+1} \right ) \) = a - 4
⇒ (a -4)(x2 + x + 1) = x2 + x + 2
⇒ ax2 + ax + a - 4x2 - 4x - 4 = x2 + x + 2
⇒ (a -5 )x2 + (a - 5)x + (a - 6) = 0 ---- (1)
For Real Roots,
D ≥ 0
⇒ b2 - 4ac ≥ 0
⇒ (a - 5)2 - 4(a - 5)(a - 6) ≥ 0
⇒ (a -5)[a - 5 - 4(a - 6)] ≥ 0
⇒ (a - 5)( - 3a + 19) ≥ 0
⇒ - (a - 5)(3a - 19) ≥ 0
⇒ (a - 5)(3a - 19) ≤ 0 ( on multiplying or dividing the inequality by negative quantity then inequality sign changes )
With the help of a wavy curve, we get
⇒ 5 ≤ a ≤ \(\frac{19}{3} \) ( but we ignore a = 5 because at a = 5 equation (1) does not remain a quadratic equation)
⇒ 5 < a ≤ \(\frac{19}{3} \)
∴ The integral value of a is 6.
The answer is 6.
