The set of all values of k > - 1 , for which the equation 3 x 2 + 4 x + 3 2 - ( k + 1 ) 3 x 2 + 4 x + 3…

The set of all values of k>-1, for which the equation 3x2+4x+32-(k+1)3x2+4x+33x2+4x+2+ k3x2+4x+22=0 has real roots, is:
  1. -12,1
  2. 1,52
  3. 12,32-{1}
  4. [2,3)

Solution

Let t=3x2+4x+2

 t+12-k+1tt+1+kt2=0

t2+2t+1-(k+1)t2-(k+1)t+kt2=0

2t+1-kt-t=0

 t1-k=-1

Replacing the value of t again

3x2+4x+2=t=1k-1

3x2+4x+2k-3k-1=0

For real roots, D0

16-4×3×2k-3k-10

6k-9k-1-40

 2k-5k-10 

k(1,52]
