Question

 If(a2-14a+ 13)x2 +(a + 2)x - 2=0 does not have two distinct real roots, and maximum value of a2 - 15a is k, then  IKI is equal to

Difficult
Solution

Let f(x)=a214a+13x2+(a+2)x2
Equation have no distinct real roots.
 Either f(x)0 or f(x)0xR
 But f(0)=2<0
 f(0)0xR
 So, f(1)0
a214a+13(a+2)20a215a+90a215a9
So, the maximum value of a215a=9
 |9|=9
