Question

The least positive integral value of ‘a’ such that 2x+ax26, xR is 

Moderate
Solution

Let f(x) =2x+ax2-6

We have to find 'a' when 2x+ax2-60, xR

we have to ensure that minimum value(a)of f(x) 0

 f'(x) =2-2ax3 and f"(x)=6ax4

Also f"(a13)>0

f'(x) =0 x=a13

hence f(x) is maximum at x=a13

 f(x) 0 if 2a13+ aa23-6 0 , xR

 a13 63 a8
