Let m and n be the numbers of real roots of the quadratic equations x2-12x+[x]+31=0 and x2-5|x+2|-4=0 respectively, where [x] denotes the greatest integer x. Then m2+mn+n2 is equal to

Solution

Given,

x2-12x+x+31=0

x2-12x+31-5=-x

Now from above equation we say that, it could have its solution in [5,6) but it does not exist as at x=5 as LHS=1,

So no solution, hence m=0

Now solving,

x2-5x+2-4=0

Taking Case 1 when x-2 we get,

x2-5x+2-4=0

x2-5x-14=0x=7,-2

Now taking Case 2 when x<-2 we get,

x2+5x+10-4=0

x=-2,-3

So, total 3 solution i.e., x=-3, -2, 7

Hence, n=3

So, the value of m2+mn+n2=0+0+32=9
