Let SS be the set of positive integral values of aa for which ax2+2(a+1)x+9a+4x2−8x+32<0,∀x∈R\dfrac{a{x}^{2} + 2\left(a + 1\right)x + 9a + 4}{{x}^{2} - 8x + 32} < 0, \forall x \in \mathbb{R}. Then, the number of elements in SS is:

Options

  1. A11
  2. B00
  3. C∞\infty
  4. D33

Correct answer

B. 00

Step-by-step solution

Given:

 ax2+2(a+1)x+9a+4x2−8x+32<0∀x∈R\dfrac{a{x}^{2} + 2 ( a + 1 ) x + 9a + 4}{{x}^{2} - 8x + 32} < 0 \forall x \in R

For quadratic x2−8x+32=0,D1=(−8)2−4(32)=−64{x}^{2} - 8x + 32 = 0, {D}_{1} = {\left(- 8\right)}^{2} - 4\left(32\right) = - 64

Since the discriminant is less than zero and the leading coefficient is positive, this quadratic will always be positive.

Now, solving ax2+2(a+1)x+9a+4<0a{x}^{2} + 2 ( a + 1 ) x + 9a + 4 < 0

We know that, for a quadratic to be always negative, the coefficient of x2<0,D<0{x}^{2} < 0, D < 0.

⇒a<0⇒ a < 0 

But we want positive values.

So, no positive integral value exist.
