Let A = \ x ∈ R : |x^2 - 5x + 5| < 1\ and B = \ x ∈ R : (x - 2)/(x...

Let A={x∈R:∣x2−5x+5∣<1} and B={x∈R:x−2x−4≤0}A = \{x \in R : |x^2 - 5x + 5| < 1\} \text{ and }B = \left\{x \in R : \dfrac{x - 2}{x - 4} \le 0\right\}. Then A∩BA \cap B is equal to

Options

  1. A[2,4)[2, 4)
  2. B(3,4)(3, 4)
  3. C(1,2)(1, 2)
  4. D{2}∪[3,4)\{2\} \cup [3, 4)

Correct answer

B. (3,4)(3, 4)

Step-by-step solution

For set AA, we have the inequality ∣x2−5x+5∣<1|x^2 - 5x + 5| < 1.
This is equivalent to −1<x2−5x+5<1-1 < x^2 - 5x + 5 < 1, which gives two inequalities:
1) x2−5x+5>−1⇒x2−5x+6>0⇒(x−2)(x−3)>0x^2 - 5x + 5 > -1 \Rightarrow x^2 - 5x + 6 > 0 \Rightarrow (x - 2)(x - 3) > 0
⇒x∈(−∞,2)∪(3,∞)\Rightarrow x \in (-\infty, 2) \cup (3, \infty)

2) x2−5x+5<1⇒x2−5x+4<0⇒(x−1)(x−4)<0x^2 - 5x + 5 < 1 \Rightarrow x^2 - 5x + 4 < 0 \Rightarrow (x - 1)(x - 4) < 0
⇒x∈(1,4)\Rightarrow x \in (1, 4)

Taking the intersection of these two conditions, we get set AA:
A=(1,2)∪(3,4)A = (1, 2) \cup (3, 4)

For set BB, we have the rational inequality x−2x−4≤0\dfrac{x - 2}{x - 4} \le 0.
The critical points are x=2x = 2 and x=4x = 4. Since the denominator cannot be zero, x≠4x \neq 4.
Using the wavy curve method, the solution is:
B=[2,4)B = [2, 4)

Now, we find the intersection A∩BA \cap B:
A∩B=((1,2)∪(3,4))∩[2,4)A \cap B = ((1, 2) \cup (3, 4)) \cap [2, 4)
Notice that the interval (1,2)(1, 2) has no common elements with [2,4)[2, 4) since 22 is not included in (1,2)(1, 2).
The interval (3,4)(3, 4) is fully contained within [2,4)[2, 4).
Thus, A∩B=(3,4)A \cap B = (3, 4).

Answer: (3,4)(3, 4)
