The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the conditions under which the tangent to the curve \( y = x^3 - \lambda x^2 + x + 1 \) makes an acute angle with the positive direction of the x-axis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition for Acute Angle:** The tangent to the curve makes an acute angle with the positive x-axis if the slope \( m \) of the tangent line is greater than 0. This means we need to ensure that: \[ m = \frac{dy}{dx} > 0 \] 2. **Finding the Derivative:** We will differentiate the function \( y = x^3 - \lambda x^2 + x + 1 \) with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 - 2\lambda x + 1 \] 3. **Setting Up the Inequality:** We want to find when: \[ 3x^2 - 2\lambda x + 1 > 0 \] This is a quadratic inequality in \( x \). 4. **Analyzing the Quadratic Inequality:** A quadratic expression \( ax^2 + bx + c \) is positive for all \( x \) if its discriminant is less than or equal to zero. Here, \( a = 3 \), \( b = -2\lambda \), and \( c = 1 \). 5. **Calculating the Discriminant:** The discriminant \( D \) is given by: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac = (-2\lambda)^2 - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 1 = 4\lambda^2 - 12 \] 6. **Setting the Discriminant Condition:** For the quadratic to be non-negative for all \( x \), we require: \[ 4\lambda^2 - 12 \leq 0 \] 7. **Solving the Inequality:** Rearranging gives: \[ 4\lambda^2 \leq 12 \implies \lambda^2 \leq 3 \] Taking the square root of both sides, we find: \[ -\sqrt{3} \leq \lambda \leq \sqrt{3} \] ### Conclusion: The values of \( \lambda \) for which the tangent at any point on the curve makes an acute angle with the positive direction of the x-axis are: \[ \lambda \in [-\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{3}] \]
