Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedMathematicsQuadratic Equation
Let f: D R be a function defined by f(x)= x^2-x+c x^2+x+2 c where D is the domain of the function and R is the set of all real numbers. If f(x) is surjective, then the possible integral values of ' c ' can be:
Options
- A-6
- B-4
- C-2
- D0
Correct answer
C. -2
Step-by-step solution
Range of f(x) must be all real numbers. Hence, f(x)=1- 2 x+c x^2+x+2 c where P(x)=x^2+x+2 c For range to be R, P ( -c 2 ) < 0 c (-6,0) .
