If \(x \in R\) and \(1 \leq \frac{3 x^2-7 x+8}{x^2+1} \leq 2\), then the minimum and maximum values of \(x\) are respectively.
- 1,2
- 5,12
- 6,10
- 1, 6
Solution
Given,
\(1 \leq \frac{3 x^2-7 x+8}{x^2+1} \leq 2 \quad\left[\because x^2+1 \geq 0\right]\)
Now, \(\quad 1 \leq \frac{x^2-7 x+8}{x^2+1}\)
\(0 \leq 2 x^2-7 x+7\)
\(\therefore \quad f(x)=2 x^2-7 x+7\)
\(\Delta=(7)^2-4(2)(0)\)
\(\Delta < 0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad f(x)=2 x^2-7 x+7 > 0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x \in R\) and \(\frac{3 x^2-7 x+8}{x^2+1} \leq 2\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x^2-7 x+6 \leq 0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad(x-1)(x-6) \leq 0 \Rightarrow x \in[1,6]\)
Hence, minimum and maximum values are 1 and 6.
