The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we start with the quadratic equation: \[ x^2 - 36x + \lambda = 0 \] ### Step 1: Identify the roots Let the roots of the equation be \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \). According to Vieta's formulas, we have: - \( \alpha + \beta = 36 \) - \( \alpha \beta = \lambda \) ### Step 2: Determine conditions for \( \lambda \) We know that \( \lambda \) must be a natural number and \( \frac{\lambda}{5} \) should not be an integer, meaning \( \lambda \) is not divisible by 5. We want to find the minimum possible value of \( \lambda \). ### Step 3: Explore possible pairs of \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) Since \( \alpha + \beta = 36 \), we can express \( \beta \) in terms of \( \alpha \): \[ \beta = 36 - \alpha \] Now, substituting this into the equation for \( \lambda \): \[ \lambda = \alpha(36 - \alpha) = 36\alpha - \alpha^2 \] ### Step 4: Check values of \( \alpha \) We will check values of \( \alpha \) starting from 1 up to 35 (since both \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) must be natural numbers): 1. **For \( \alpha = 1 \)**: - \( \beta = 35 \) - \( \lambda = 1 \times 35 = 35 \) (divisible by 5, not valid) 2. **For \( \alpha = 2 \)**: - \( \beta = 34 \) - \( \lambda = 2 \times 34 = 68 \) (not divisible by 5, valid) 3. **For \( \alpha = 3 \)**: - \( \beta = 33 \) - \( \lambda = 3 \times 33 = 99 \) (not divisible by 5, valid) 4. **For \( \alpha = 4 \)**: - \( \beta = 32 \) - \( \lambda = 4 \times 32 = 128 \) (not divisible by 5, valid) Continuing this way, we find that \( \lambda = 68 \) is the minimum valid value that satisfies all conditions. ### Step 5: Calculate the expression Now we need to calculate: \[ \frac{\sqrt{\alpha + 2} \cdot \sqrt{\beta + 2}}{|\alpha - \beta|} \] Substituting \( \alpha = 2 \) and \( \beta = 34 \): \[ \sqrt{\alpha + 2} = \sqrt{2 + 2} = \sqrt{4} = 2 \] \[ \sqrt{\beta + 2} = \sqrt{34 + 2} = \sqrt{36} = 6 \] Now, substituting these values into the expression: \[ \frac{2 \cdot 6}{|2 - 34|} = \frac{12}{32} = \frac{3}{8} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the expression is: \[ \frac{3}{8} \]

To solve the given problem, we start with the quadratic equation: \[ x^2 - 36x + \lambda = 0 \] ### Step 1: Identify the roots Let the roots of the equation be \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \). According to Vieta's formulas, we have: - \( \alpha + \beta = 36 \) ...
