If ( | x^2+k x+1 x^2+x+1 | < 3 ) for all real numbers (x ), then the range of the parameter (k ) is
Options
- A((0,4) )
- B((-1,5) )
- C((-4,0) )
- D((-5,1) )
Correct answer
B. ((-1,5) )
Step-by-step solution
It is given, for all (x R ) ( aligned & | x^2+k x+1 x^2+x+1 | 0, x R ] aligned ) So, (4 x^2+(k+3) x+4 > 0, x R ) Then (D 0, x R ) Then (D < 0 (3-k)^2-16 < 0 ) ( (k-3-4)(k-3+4) < 0 ) ( k (-1,7) (ii) ) From intervals (i) and (ii), we get (k (-1,5) ) Hence, option (b) is correct.
