The number of integral values of c for which both the roots of the equation x 2 - 2 c x + c 2 = 1 are greater than - 2 but less than 4 are
Options
- A0
- B1
- C2
- Dmore than 2
Correct answer
D. more than 2
Step-by-step solution
x - c 2 = 1 ⇒ x - c = ± 1 ⇒ x = c + 1 , c - 1 c - 1 > - 2 and c + 1 < 4 ⇒ c > - 1 and c < 3 ⇒ - 1 < c < 3 ⇒ c = 0 , 1 , 2 Hence, the number of integral values of c are 3 .
