The correct Answer is:
To determine the values of \( \lambda \) for which the given equation represents an ellipse, we start with the equation: \[ x^2 (\lambda^2 - 4\lambda + 3) + y^2 (\lambda^2 - 6\lambda + 5) = 1 \] ### Step 1: Identify the conditions for an ellipse For the equation to represent an ellipse, the coefficients of \( x^2 \) and \( y^2 \) must be positive. Thus, we need: 1. \( \lambda^2 - 4\lambda + 3 > 0 \) 2. \( \lambda^2 - 6\lambda + 5 > 0 \) ### Step 2: Solve the first inequality We start with the first inequality: \[ \lambda^2 - 4\lambda + 3 > 0 \] Factoring gives: \[ (\lambda - 1)(\lambda - 3) > 0 \] To find the intervals, we analyze the sign changes around the roots \( \lambda = 1 \) and \( \lambda = 3 \): - For \( \lambda < 1 \): both factors are negative, so the product is positive. - For \( 1 < \lambda < 3 \): one factor is negative and the other is positive, so the product is negative. - For \( \lambda > 3 \): both factors are positive, so the product is positive. Thus, the solution for the first inequality is: \[ \lambda \in (-\infty, 1) \cup (3, \infty) \] ### Step 3: Solve the second inequality Next, we solve the second inequality: \[ \lambda^2 - 6\lambda + 5 > 0 \] Factoring gives: \[ (\lambda - 1)(\lambda - 5) > 0 \] Analyzing the sign changes around the roots \( \lambda = 1 \) and \( \lambda = 5 \): - For \( \lambda < 1 \): both factors are negative, so the product is positive. - For \( 1 < \lambda < 5 \): one factor is negative and the other is positive, so the product is negative. - For \( \lambda > 5 \): both factors are positive, so the product is positive. Thus, the solution for the second inequality is: \[ \lambda \in (-\infty, 1) \cup (5, \infty) \] ### Step 4: Find the intersection of the two intervals Now, we find the intersection of the two intervals obtained from the inequalities: 1. From the first inequality: \( (-\infty, 1) \cup (3, \infty) \) 2. From the second inequality: \( (-\infty, 1) \cup (5, \infty) \) The intersection is: \[ \lambda \in (-\infty, 1) \cup (5, \infty) \] ### Conclusion Thus, the values of \( \lambda \) for which the given equation represents an ellipse are: \[ \lambda \in (-\infty, 1) \cup (5, \infty) \]
