Find the largest integer such that the equation
5x^2 - mx + 8 = 4x^2 - 12
has no real solutions.
Simplify to get:
x2−mx+20=0
Now, for this Quadratic to have no real solutions, it should not intersect the x-axis.
So, the discriminant , which is: b2−4ac must be less than zero.
So:
b2−4ac<0
⟺m2−80<0 (Now we have to solve this Quadratic inequality for m).
The critical values: m=±4√5
Next, sketch (*) and place the critical points, you want the region below the x-axis (Hence, between the critical values):
Thus, \(-4\sqrt{5}
Since hte question is asking about the largest integer m, let us convert this to decimal:
\(-8.94427..
Therefore, the largest integer m, is: m=8 is the desired solution.
Hope this helps!
