Let S be the set of positive integral values of a for which a x 2 + 2 a + 1 x + 9 a + 4 x 2 - 8 x + 32 <…
Solution
Given:
For quadratic
Since the discriminant is less than zero and the leading coefficient is positive, this quadratic will always be positive.
Now, solving
We know that, for a quadratic to be always negative, the coefficient of .
But we want positive values.
So, no positive integral value exist.
