Match the following for the equation `x^(2)+a|x|+1=0` where, a is a parameter.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`a to s; b to r; c to q; d to p `
`atos,btor,ctoq,d""to""p`
Obviously when `age0`, we have no roots a all the terms are followed by+ve sign. Also for a=-2, we have
`x^(2)-2|x|+1=0`
or `|x|-1=0impliesx=pm1`
Hence, the equation has two roots. Also when `alt-2`, for given equation
`|x|=(-apmsqrt(a^(2)-4))/(2)gt0`
Hence, the equation has four roots as `|-a|gtsqrt(a^(2)-4)`. Obviously, the equation has no three roots for any value of a.
