If x - P x 2 - 3 x + 2 takes all real values for x ∈ ℝ , then the range of P is

If x-Px2-3x+2 takes all real values for x, then the range of P is
  1. 1P2
  2. 1<P<2
  3. P<1 or P>2
  4. P2 or P1

Solution

Consider, y=x-Px2-3x+2 and it is provided that
x2-3x+20
x1, 2

Now solve the above equation.

yx2-(3y+1)x+(2y+P)=0  x, 

So D0

(3y+1)2-4y(2y+P)0

y2+(6-4P)y+10   y, so D0

(6-4P)2-40

(4P-6+2)(4P-6-2)0

(P-1)(P-2)0

P[1,2] but P1, 2

So, P1,2
