The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the number of integral values of \( a \) in the interval \([-5, 5]\) for which the quadratic equation \[ x^2 + 2(a - 1)x + (a + 5) = 0 \] has one root smaller than 1 and the other root greater than 3. ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The quadratic equation can be rewritten in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \), where: - \( a = 1 \) - \( b = 2(a - 1) \) - \( c = a + 5 \) ### Step 2: Conditions for the roots For the quadratic to have one root smaller than 1 and the other root greater than 3, we need to satisfy the following conditions: 1. The value of the quadratic at \( x = 1 \) must be negative: \( f(1) < 0 \). 2. The value of the quadratic at \( x = 3 \) must also be negative: \( f(3) < 0 \). 3. The discriminant must be positive for the roots to be real and distinct: \( D > 0 \). ### Step 3: Calculate \( f(1) < 0 \) Calculating \( f(1) \): \[ f(1) = 1^2 + 2(a - 1)(1) + (a + 5) = 1 + 2(a - 1) + (a + 5) \] \[ = 1 + 2a - 2 + a + 5 = 3a + 4 \] Setting the inequality: \[ 3a + 4 < 0 \implies 3a < -4 \implies a < -\frac{4}{3} \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( f(3) < 0 \) Calculating \( f(3) \): \[ f(3) = 3^2 + 2(a - 1)(3) + (a + 5) = 9 + 6(a - 1) + (a + 5) \] \[ = 9 + 6a - 6 + a + 5 = 7a + 8 \] Setting the inequality: \[ 7a + 8 < 0 \implies 7a < -8 \implies a < -\frac{8}{7} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the discriminant \( D > 0 \) The discriminant \( D \) is given by: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac = (2(a - 1))^2 - 4(1)(a + 5) \] \[ = 4(a - 1)^2 - 4(a + 5) = 4(a^2 - 2a + 1 - a - 5) = 4(a^2 - 3a - 4) \] Setting the inequality: \[ 4(a^2 - 3a - 4) > 0 \implies a^2 - 3a - 4 > 0 \] Factoring the quadratic: \[ (a - 4)(a + 1) > 0 \] ### Step 6: Solve the inequality \( (a - 4)(a + 1) > 0 \) Using a number line, we find the intervals where the product is positive: - The critical points are \( a = -1 \) and \( a = 4 \). - The intervals are \( (-\infty, -1) \) and \( (4, \infty) \). ### Step 7: Combine the conditions We have three conditions: 1. \( a < -\frac{4}{3} \) 2. \( a < -\frac{8}{7} \) 3. \( a < -1 \) or \( a > 4 \) The most restrictive condition is \( a < -\frac{8}{7} \). Therefore, we consider the intersection of the intervals: - From \( a < -\frac{8}{7} \) and \( (-\infty, -1) \), we take \( (-\infty, -\frac{8}{7}) \). ### Step 8: Determine integral values in the interval \([-5, 5]\) The integral values of \( a \) in the interval \([-5, 5]\) that satisfy \( a < -\frac{8}{7} \) are: - \( -5, -4, -3, -2 \) ### Conclusion Thus, the number of integral values of \( a \) in the interval \([-5, 5]\) for which the quadratic equation has one root smaller than 1 and the other root greater than 3 is: \[ \boxed{4} \]
