The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the expression \( [x^2 - 2x + a] = 0 \) and determine the conditions under which it has no solutions. Here, the brackets represent the greatest integer function. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Greatest Integer Function**: The expression \( [x^2 - 2x + a] = 0 \) implies that \( x^2 - 2x + a \) must lie in the interval \([0, 1)\) for it to equal 0. This means: \[ 0 \leq x^2 - 2x + a < 1 \] 2. **Setting Up the Inequalities**: From the above, we can derive two inequalities: - \( x^2 - 2x + a \geq 0 \) (1) - \( x^2 - 2x + a < 1 \) (2) 3. **Analyzing the First Inequality**: The first inequality \( x^2 - 2x + a \geq 0 \) is a quadratic equation in \( x \). For this quadratic to have no real solutions, its discriminant must be less than or equal to zero: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac = (-2)^2 - 4(1)(a) = 4 - 4a \] Setting the discriminant \( D \leq 0 \): \[ 4 - 4a \leq 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ a \geq 1 \] 4. **Analyzing the Second Inequality**: The second inequality \( x^2 - 2x + a < 1 \) can be rearranged to: \[ x^2 - 2x + (a - 1) < 0 \] For this quadratic to have no real solutions, its discriminant must also be less than or equal to zero: \[ D = (-2)^2 - 4(1)(a - 1) = 4 - 4(a - 1) = 4 - 4a + 4 = 8 - 4a \] Setting this discriminant \( D < 0 \): \[ 8 - 4a < 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ a > 2 \] 5. **Combining the Results**: From the two inequalities derived: - From the first inequality, we have \( a \geq 1 \). - From the second inequality, we have \( a > 2 \). The condition that satisfies both inequalities is: \[ a > 2 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the values of \( a \) for which the equation \( [x^2 - 2x + a] = 0 \) has no solutions are: \[ a \in (2, \infty) \]
