The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( |x| + \left| \frac{x}{x-1} \right| = \frac{x^2}{|x-1|} \), we will analyze different cases based on the value of \( x \). ### Step 1: Identify Cases Based on \( x \) We need to consider different cases for \( x \) based on the absolute values involved in the equation. The critical points are \( x = 0 \) and \( x = 1 \). Therefore, we will analyze three cases: 1. \( x > 1 \) 2. \( 0 < x < 1 \) 3. \( x < 0 \) ### Step 2: Case 1: \( x > 1 \) In this case, both \( |x| = x \) and \( |x-1| = x-1 \). Thus, the equation simplifies to: \[ x + \frac{x}{x-1} = \frac{x^2}{x-1} \] Multiply through by \( x-1 \) (which is positive for \( x > 1 \)): \[ (x + \frac{x}{x-1})(x-1) = x^2 \] This expands to: \[ x(x-1) + x = x^2 \] Simplifying gives: \[ x^2 - x + x = x^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 = 0 \] This is true for all \( x > 1 \). Therefore, any \( x > 1 \) is a solution. ### Step 3: Case 2: \( 0 < x < 1 \) In this case, \( |x| = x \) and \( |x-1| = 1-x \). The equation becomes: \[ x + \frac{x}{1-x} = \frac{x^2}{1-x} \] Multiply through by \( 1-x \): \[ (x + \frac{x}{1-x})(1-x) = x^2 \] This expands to: \[ x(1-x) + x = x^2 \] Simplifying gives: \[ x - x^2 + x = x^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x - x^2 = x^2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2x = 2x^2 \] Dividing both sides by 2 (assuming \( x \neq 0 \)): \[ x = x^2 \] This implies: \[ x^2 - x = 0 \implies x(x-1) = 0 \] The solutions are \( x = 0 \) or \( x = 1 \). Since we are in the interval \( 0 < x < 1 \), the only valid solution is \( x = 0 \), which is not included in this case. ### Step 4: Case 3: \( x < 0 \) In this case, \( |x| = -x \) and \( |x-1| = 1-x \). The equation becomes: \[ -x + \left| \frac{x}{x-1} \right| = \frac{x^2}{1-x} \] Since \( x < 0 \), \( \frac{x}{x-1} \) is also negative, so \( \left| \frac{x}{x-1} \right| = -\frac{x}{x-1} \). Thus, the equation simplifies to: \[ -x - \frac{x}{x-1} = \frac{x^2}{1-x} \] Multiply through by \( 1-x \): \[ (-x - \frac{x}{x-1})(1-x) = x^2 \] This expands to: \[ -x(1-x) - \frac{x(1-x)}{x-1} = x^2 \] This leads to no valid solutions since \( x < 0 \) does not satisfy the equation. ### Conclusion From all cases, the only integer solution we found is \( x = 0 \) from the second case. Therefore, the least integer value of \( x \) that satisfies the equation is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
