Q53 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2019 (21 Apr Shift 2) · Mathematics

x∈ℝ:6+x-x22x+5≥6+x-x2x+4=

  • A
    [-2,3]
  • B
    (-∞,-4]∪-52,-1
  • Correct answer
    C
    [-2,-1]∪{3}
  • D
    (-∞,-4]∪[-2,-1]

Solution

It is given that, 6+x-x22x+5≥6+x-x2x+4
Rewrite the above equation.

⇒6+x-x212x+5-1x+4≥0

⇒6+x-x2x+4-2x-5(2x+5)(x+4)≥0

⇒6+x-x2-(x+1)(2x+5)(x+4)≥0

⇒(x+1)(2x+5)(x+4)≤0

Figure

Now, x∈(-∞,-4)∪(-52,-1]  ...i 

For the expression to exist

6+x-x2≥0

⇒x2-x-6≤0

⇒(x-3)(x+2)≤0

x∈[-2,3]  ...ii  

From Equations (i) and

x∈[-2,-1]∪{3}

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
