The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \[ \frac{[x]}{[x-2]} - \frac{[x-2]}{[x]} = \frac{8\{x\} + 12}{[x-2][x]} \] where \([x]\) denotes the greatest integer function and \(\{x\}\) denotes the fractional part function, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start by rewriting the equation in a more manageable form. We can express the left-hand side with a common denominator: \[ \frac{[x]^2 - [x-2]^2}{[x][x-2]} = \frac{8\{x\} + 12}{[x-2][x]} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the left-hand side The left-hand side can be simplified using the difference of squares: \[ [x]^2 - [x-2]^2 = ([x] - [x-2])([x] + [x-2]) \] Since \([x-2] = [x] - 2\), we have: \[ [x] - [x-2] = 2 \] Thus, the left-hand side becomes: \[ \frac{2([x] + [x-2])}{[x][x-2]} = \frac{2([x] + ([x] - 2))}{[x][x-2]} = \frac{2(2[x] - 2)}{[x][x-2]} = \frac{4([x] - 1)}{[x][x-2]} \] ### Step 3: Set the equation Now we can set the two sides equal to each other: \[ \frac{4([x] - 1)}{[x][x-2]} = \frac{8\{x\} + 12}{[x-2][x]} \] ### Step 4: Cross-multiply Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 4([x] - 1) \cdot [x-2][x] = (8\{x\} + 12) \cdot [x][x-2] \] ### Step 5: Simplify further Since both sides have \([x][x-2]\), we can cancel it out, leading to: \[ 4([x] - 1) = 8\{x\} + 12 \] ### Step 6: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives: \[ 8\{x\} = 4[x] - 4 - 12 \] \[ 8\{x\} = 4[x] - 16 \] \[ \{x\} = \frac{4[x] - 16}{8} = \frac{[x] - 4}{2} \] ### Step 7: Analyzing the fractional part Since \(\{x\}\) must be in the interval \([0, 1)\), we can set up the inequalities: \[ 0 \leq \frac{[x] - 4}{2} < 1 \] ### Step 8: Solve the inequalities From \(0 \leq \frac{[x] - 4}{2}\): \[ [x] - 4 \geq 0 \implies [x] \geq 4 \] From \(\frac{[x] - 4}{2} < 1\): \[ [x] - 4 < 2 \implies [x] < 6 \] Thus, we have: \[ 4 \leq [x] < 6 \] ### Step 9: Possible values for \([x]\) The possible integer values for \([x]\) are 4 and 5. ### Step 10: Finding corresponding \(x\) values 1. If \([x] = 4\): \[ \{x\} = \frac{4 - 4}{2} = 0 \implies x = 4 \] 2. If \([x] = 5\): \[ \{x\} = \frac{5 - 4}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \implies x = 5.5 \] ### Step 11: Sum of all solutions The solutions are \(x = 4\) and \(x = 5.5\). The sum of all solutions is: \[ 4 + 5.5 = 9.5 \] ### Final Answer The sum of all solutions is: \[ \boxed{9.5} \]
