The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \[ \sqrt{3x^2 + 6x + 7} + \sqrt{5x^2 + 10x + 14} \leq 4 - 2x - x^2, \] we will analyze both sides step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Left-Hand Side (LHS) The first term in the LHS is \[ \sqrt{3x^2 + 6x + 7}. \] We can rewrite the expression inside the square root: \[ 3x^2 + 6x + 7 = 3(x^2 + 2x) + 7 = 3(x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1) + 7 = 3((x + 1)^2 - 1) + 7 = 3(x + 1)^2 + 4. \] Thus, we have: \[ \sqrt{3x^2 + 6x + 7} = \sqrt{3(x + 1)^2 + 4}. \] This expression is always greater than or equal to 2 because the minimum value occurs when \(x = -1\), giving us: \[ \sqrt{3(0) + 4} = \sqrt{4} = 2. \] ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Term in LHS Now, consider the second term: \[ \sqrt{5x^2 + 10x + 14}. \] We can factor this similarly: \[ 5x^2 + 10x + 14 = 5(x^2 + 2x) + 14 = 5((x + 1)^2 - 1) + 14 = 5(x + 1)^2 + 9. \] Thus, we have: \[ \sqrt{5x^2 + 10x + 14} = \sqrt{5(x + 1)^2 + 9}. \] This expression is always greater than or equal to 3 because the minimum value occurs when \(x = -1\), giving us: \[ \sqrt{5(0) + 9} = \sqrt{9} = 3. \] ### Step 3: Combine the LHS Now, combining both terms in the LHS: \[ \sqrt{3x^2 + 6x + 7} + \sqrt{5x^2 + 10x + 14} \geq 2 + 3 = 5. \] ### Step 4: Analyze the Right-Hand Side (RHS) Now let's analyze the RHS: \[ 4 - 2x - x^2. \] This is a downward-facing quadratic equation. To find its maximum value, we can complete the square: \[ 4 - 2x - x^2 = -(x^2 + 2x - 4) = -((x + 1)^2 - 5) = 5 - (x + 1)^2. \] The maximum value occurs when \((x + 1)^2 = 0\), which gives: \[ 5 - 0 = 5. \] ### Step 5: Setting LHS and RHS Now, we have established: - LHS \( \geq 5 \) - RHS \( \leq 5 \) The only point where they can be equal is when both are equal to 5. This occurs when \(x = -1\). ### Conclusion Thus, the only solution to the inequality is: \[ \text{The number of solutions is } 1. \]
