The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the integral values of \( a \) in the interval \([-5, 5]\) for which the quadratic equation \[ x^2 + 2(a-1)x + (a+5) = 0 \] has one root less than 1 and the other root greater than 3. ### Step 1: Ensure the quadratic has real roots For the quadratic equation to have real roots, the discriminant must be greater than zero. The discriminant \( D \) for the quadratic equation \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \) is given by: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac \] In our case, \( a = 1 \), \( b = 2(a-1) \), and \( c = a + 5 \). Thus, we have: \[ D = [2(a-1)]^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (a + 5) \] Calculating this gives: \[ D = 4(a-1)^2 - 4(a + 5) \] \[ D = 4[(a-1)^2 - (a + 5)] \] \[ D = 4[a^2 - 2a + 1 - a - 5] \] \[ D = 4[a^2 - 3a - 4] \] For the roots to be real, we need: \[ 4(a^2 - 3a - 4) > 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ a^2 - 3a - 4 > 0 \] ### Step 2: Solve the quadratic inequality To solve \( a^2 - 3a - 4 > 0 \), we first find the roots of the equation \( a^2 - 3a - 4 = 0 \) using the quadratic formula: \[ a = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (-4)}}{2 \cdot 1} \] \[ = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 + 16}}{2} = \frac{3 \pm 5}{2} \] Calculating the roots gives: \[ a = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \quad \text{and} \quad a = \frac{-2}{2} = -1 \] The quadratic \( a^2 - 3a - 4 \) opens upwards (since the coefficient of \( a^2 \) is positive). Thus, the solution to the inequality \( a^2 - 3a - 4 > 0 \) is: \[ a < -1 \quad \text{or} \quad a > 4 \] ### Step 3: Consider the conditions for the roots We need one root \( \alpha < 1 \) and the other root \( \beta > 3 \). By Vieta's formulas, we know: 1. The sum of the roots \( \alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{2(a-1)}{1} = -2(a-1) \) 2. The product of the roots \( \alpha \beta = \frac{c}{a} = a + 5 \) From the conditions \( \alpha < 1 \) and \( \beta > 3 \), we can derive: \[ \alpha + \beta < 1 + 3 = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -2(a-1) < 4 \] \[ -2a + 2 < 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -2a < 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a > -1 \] And for the product: \[ \alpha \beta > 1 \cdot 3 = 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a + 5 > 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a > -2 \] ### Step 4: Combine the conditions From the discriminant condition, we have: 1. \( a < -1 \) or \( a > 4 \) From the root conditions, we have: 2. \( a > -1 \) Combining these gives us: - The only valid interval for \( a \) is \( a > 4 \). ### Step 5: Find integral values in the range \([-5, 5]\) The only integral value of \( a \) in the range \([-5, 5]\) that satisfies \( a > 4 \) is: \[ a = 5 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the number of integral values of \( a \) in the interval \([-5, 5]\) for which the equation has one root less than 1 and the other root greater than 3 is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
