The correct Answer is:
To determine the conditions under which the quadratic equation \( x^2 + 2(a+1)x + (9a-5) = 0 \) has only negative roots, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The quadratic equation can be expressed in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \), where: - \( a = 1 \) - \( b = 2(a + 1) \) - \( c = 9a - 5 \) ### Step 2: Condition for real roots For the quadratic equation to have real roots, the discriminant must be non-negative: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac \geq 0 \] Substituting the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \): \[ D = [2(a + 1)]^2 - 4(1)(9a - 5) \geq 0 \] Calculating \( D \): \[ D = 4(a + 1)^2 - 4(9a - 5) \] \[ D = 4[(a + 1)^2 - (9a - 5)] \] \[ D = 4[a^2 + 2a + 1 - 9a + 5] \] \[ D = 4[a^2 - 7a + 6] \] Thus, we need: \[ a^2 - 7a + 6 \geq 0 \] ### Step 3: Factor the quadratic Next, we factor \( a^2 - 7a + 6 \): \[ a^2 - 7a + 6 = (a - 1)(a - 6) \] Setting the factors to zero gives the roots: \[ a - 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a = 1 \] \[ a - 6 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a = 6 \] ### Step 4: Determine intervals Now, we analyze the sign of the quadratic \( (a - 1)(a - 6) \): - For \( a < 1 \): both factors are negative, so the product is positive. - For \( 1 < a < 6 \): one factor is positive and the other is negative, so the product is negative. - For \( a > 6 \): both factors are positive, so the product is positive. Thus, \( a^2 - 7a + 6 \geq 0 \) when: \[ a \leq 1 \quad \text{or} \quad a \geq 6 \] ### Step 5: Condition for negative roots For the roots to be negative, the sum and product of the roots must satisfy: 1. The sum of the roots \( -\frac{b}{a} < 0 \): \[ -\frac{2(a + 1)}{1} < 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2(a + 1) > 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a + 1 > 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a > -1 \] 2. The product of the roots \( \frac{c}{a} > 0 \): \[ \frac{9a - 5}{1} > 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 9a - 5 > 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a > \frac{5}{9} \] ### Step 6: Combine conditions We need to combine the conditions: - From the discriminant, we have \( a \leq 1 \) or \( a \geq 6 \). - From the conditions for negative roots, we have \( a > -1 \) and \( a > \frac{5}{9} \). ### Final Result The valid intervals that satisfy all conditions are: - For \( a \leq 1 \): \( \frac{5}{9} < a \leq 1 \) - For \( a \geq 6 \): \( a \geq 6 \) Thus, the final answer is: \[ \frac{5}{9} < a \leq 1 \quad \text{or} \quad a \geq 6 \]
