The set of all values of k>−1k > - 1, for which the equation (3x2+4x+3)2−(k+1)(3x2+4x+3)(3x2+4x+2)+{\left(3{x}^{2} + 4x + 3\right)}^{2} - ( k + 1 ) \left(3{x}^{2} + 4x + 3\right)\left(3{x}^{2} + 4x + 2\right) + k(3x2+4x+2)2=0k{\left(3{x}^{2} + 4x + 2\right)}^{2} = 0 has real roots, is:

Options

  1. A[−12,1)\left[- \dfrac{1}{2}, 1\right)
  2. B(1,52]\left(1, \dfrac{5}{2}\right]
  3. C(12,32]−1\left(\dfrac{1}{2}, \dfrac{3}{2}\right] - { 1 }
  4. D[2,3)[ 2, 3 )

Correct answer

B. (1,52]\left(1, \dfrac{5}{2}\right]

Step-by-step solution

Let t=(3x2+4x+2)t = \left(3{x}^{2} + 4x + 2\right)

⇒(t+1)2−(k+1)(t)(t+1)+k(t)2=0⇒ {\left(t + 1\right)}^{2} - \left(k + 1\right)\left(t\right)\left(t + 1\right) + k{\left(t\right)}^{2} = 0

⇒t2+2t+1−(k+1)t2−(k+1)t+kt2=0⇒ {t}^{2} + 2t + 1 - ( k + 1 ) {t}^{2} - ( k + 1 ) t + k{t}^{2} = 0

⇒2t+1−kt−t=0⇒ 2t + 1 - kt - t = 0

⇒t(1−k)=−1⇒ t\left(1 - k\right) = - 1

Replacing the value of tt again

3x2+4x+2=t=1k−13{x}^{2} + 4x + 2 = t = \dfrac{1}{k - 1}

⇒3x2+4x+(2k−3k−1)=0⇒ 3{x}^{2} + 4x + \left(\dfrac{2k - 3}{k - 1}\right) = 0

For real roots, D≥0D \ge 0

⇒16−4×3×(2k−3k−1)≥0⇒ 16 - 4 \times 3 \times \left(\dfrac{2k - 3}{k - 1}\right) \ge 0

⇒6k−9k−1−4≤0⇒ \dfrac{6k - 9}{k - 1} - 4 \le 0

⇒(2k−5)(k−1)≤0⇒ \dfrac{\left(2k - 5\right)}{\left(k - 1\right)} \le 0

⇒k∈(1,52]⇒ k \in ( 1, \dfrac{5}{2} ]
