Let S be the set of positive integral values of a for which a x ^ 2...
Let be the set of positive integral values of for which . Then, the number of elements in is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step 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.
