The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \( x^2 + 2ax + (10 - 3a) > 0 \) for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \), we need to ensure that the quadratic expression is always positive. This requires two conditions to be satisfied: 1. The coefficient of \( x^2 \) must be positive. 2. The discriminant of the quadratic must be negative. ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The given quadratic expression can be written in the standard form \( Ax^2 + Bx + C \): - Here, \( A = 1 \) (coefficient of \( x^2 \)) - \( B = 2a \) (coefficient of \( x \)) - \( C = 10 - 3a \) (constant term) ### Step 2: Ensure the coefficient of \( x^2 \) is positive Since \( A = 1 \), which is greater than 0, this condition is satisfied. ### Step 3: Calculate the discriminant The discriminant \( D \) of a quadratic equation \( Ax^2 + Bx + C \) is given by: \[ D = B^2 - 4AC \] Substituting the values, we get: \[ D = (2a)^2 - 4(1)(10 - 3a) \] \[ D = 4a^2 - 4(10 - 3a) \] \[ D = 4a^2 - 40 + 12a \] \[ D = 4a^2 + 12a - 40 \] ### Step 4: Set the discriminant less than zero To ensure the quadratic is always positive, we need: \[ 4a^2 + 12a - 40 < 0 \] Dividing the entire inequality by 4: \[ a^2 + 3a - 10 < 0 \] ### Step 5: Factor the quadratic Now, we factor the quadratic: \[ a^2 + 3a - 10 = (a + 5)(a - 2) \] Thus, we need to solve: \[ (a + 5)(a - 2) < 0 \] ### Step 6: Determine the intervals To find the intervals where the product is negative, we identify the roots: - The roots are \( a = -5 \) and \( a = 2 \). Now we test the intervals: 1. \( (-\infty, -5) \) 2. \( (-5, 2) \) 3. \( (2, \infty) \) ### Step 7: Test the intervals - For \( a < -5 \) (e.g., \( a = -6 \)): \((a + 5)(a - 2) = (-)(-) = +\) (not satisfied) - For \( -5 < a < 2 \) (e.g., \( a = 0 \)): \((a + 5)(a - 2) = (+)(-) = -\) (satisfied) - For \( a > 2 \) (e.g., \( a = 3 \)): \((a + 5)(a - 2) = (+)(+) = +\) (not satisfied) ### Conclusion The solution to the inequality \( a^2 + 3a - 10 < 0 \) is: \[ -5 < a < 2 \] Thus, the values of \( a \) for which the original quadratic expression is positive for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \) lie in the interval \( (-5, 2) \). ### Final Answer The interval for \( a \) is: \[ (-5, 2) \]
