The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( \lambda \) for which the quadratic equation \[ 2x^2 - 2(2\lambda + 1)x + \lambda(\lambda + 1) = 0 \] has one root less than \( \lambda \) and the other root greater than \( \lambda \). This means that \( \lambda \) must be between the two roots of the quadratic equation. ### Step 1: Identify the condition for \( \lambda \) For \( \lambda \) to be between the roots, we must have: \[ f(\lambda) < 0 \] where \( f(x) = 2x^2 - 2(2\lambda + 1)x + \lambda(\lambda + 1) \). ### Step 2: Substitute \( \lambda \) into the quadratic Substituting \( x = \lambda \) into the quadratic equation gives: \[ f(\lambda) = 2\lambda^2 - 2(2\lambda + 1)\lambda + \lambda(\lambda + 1) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the expression Now, simplify \( f(\lambda) \): \[ f(\lambda) = 2\lambda^2 - (4\lambda^2 + 2\lambda) + \lambda^2 + \lambda \] Combine like terms: \[ f(\lambda) = 2\lambda^2 - 4\lambda^2 - 2\lambda + \lambda^2 + \lambda \] \[ = (2 - 4 + 1)\lambda^2 + (-2 + 1)\lambda \] \[ = -\lambda^2 - \lambda \] ### Step 4: Set the inequality We need to solve: \[ -\lambda^2 - \lambda < 0 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ \lambda^2 + \lambda > 0 \] ### Step 5: Factor the inequality Factoring gives: \[ \lambda(\lambda + 1) > 0 \] ### Step 6: Determine the intervals To find the intervals where this inequality holds, we find the roots: 1. \( \lambda = 0 \) 2. \( \lambda + 1 = 0 \) which gives \( \lambda = -1 \) The critical points are \( -1 \) and \( 0 \). We can test intervals around these points: - For \( \lambda < -1 \) (e.g., \( \lambda = -2 \)): \(-2(-2 + 1) = -2(-1) = 2 > 0\) (satisfied) - For \( -1 < \lambda < 0 \) (e.g., \( \lambda = -0.5 \)): \(-0.5(-0.5 + 1) = -0.5(0.5) = -0.25 < 0\) (not satisfied) - For \( \lambda > 0 \) (e.g., \( \lambda = 1 \)): \(1(1 + 1) = 1 \cdot 2 = 2 > 0\) (satisfied) ### Step 7: Conclusion The solution to the inequality \( \lambda(\lambda + 1) > 0 \) is: \[ \lambda \in (-\infty, -1) \cup (0, \infty) \] Thus, the values of \( \lambda \) for which the quadratic equation has one root less than \( \lambda \) and the other root greater than \( \lambda \) are: \[ \lambda < -1 \quad \text{or} \quad \lambda > 0 \]
