4-2.Quadratic Equations and Inequations
hard

The number of integral values of $m$ for which the quadratic expression, $(1 + 2m)x^2 -2(1+ 3m)x + 4(1 + m),$ $x\in R,$ is always positive, is

A

$3$

B

$8$

C

$7$

D

$6$

(JEE MAIN-2019)

Solution

Expression is always positive it $2 \mathrm{m}+1>0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{m}>-\frac{1}{2}$

and $D<0 \Rightarrow m^{2}-6 m-3<0$

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

$\therefore$ Common interval is $3-\sqrt{12}<\mathrm{m}<3+\sqrt{12}$

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