JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2019 - 12th January Evening Slot - No. 9)

The number of integral values of m for which the quadratic expression, (1 + 2m)x2 – 2(1 + 3m)x + 4(1 + m), x $$ \in $$ R, is always positive, is :
7
8
3
6

Explanation

Expression is always positive it

2m + 1 > 0 $$ \Rightarrow $$ m > $$-$$ $${1 \over 2}$$ &

D < 0 $$ \Rightarrow $$ m2 $$-$$ 6m $$-$$ 3 < 0

      3 $$-$$ $$\sqrt {12} $$ < m < 3 + $$\sqrt {12} $$ . . . . (iii)

$$ \therefore $$  Common interval is

3 $$-$$ $$\sqrt {12} $$ < m < 3 + $$\sqrt {12} $$

$$ \therefore $$  Intgral value of m {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
