1. Determination of personal motivation of students. To continue education, for self-development and intellectual growth, it is necessary to study diligently and consciously and take care of your health. 2. Access to the concept of "parameter". Parameter - a value that characterizes the main properties of a change in a system or phenomenon. ( Dictionary)


In equations (inequalities), the coefficients for unknowns or free terms given not by specific numerical values, but indicated by letters, are called parameters. Example: To solve a problem with a parameter means, for each value of the parameter, to find x values ​​that satisfy the condition of this problem.

For each value of the parameter a a solve the inequality | 2 x + a | ≤ x + 2 |2x+a| \leq x+2 .

Let's solve an auxiliary problem first. Consider this inequality as an inequality with two variables x x and a a and draw on the coordinate plane x O a xOa all points whose coordinates satisfy the inequality.

If 2 x + a ≥ 0 2x+a \geq 0 (i.e., on the line a = - 2 xa=-2x and higher), then we get 2 x + a ≤ x + 2 ⇔ a ≤ 2 - x 2x+ a \leq x+2 \Leftrightarrow a \leq 2-x .

The set is shown in Fig. eleven.

Now let's solve the original problem using this drawing. If we fix a a , then we get a horizontal line a = const a = \textrm(const) . To determine the values ​​x x , you need to find the abscissas of the points of intersection of this line with the solution set of the inequality. For example, if a = 8 a=8 , then the inequality has no solutions (the line does not intersect the set); if a = 1 a=1 , then all x x from the interval [ - 1 ; 1 ] [-1;1], etc. So, there are three options.

1) If $$a>4$$, then there are no solutions.

2) If a = 4 a=4 , then x = - 2 x=-2 .

ANSWER

for $$a

with a = 4 a=4 - x = - 2 x=-2 ;

for $$a>4$$ - there are no solutions.

Find all values ​​of the parameter a a such that the inequality $$3-|x-a| > x^2$$ a) has at least one solution; b) has at least one positive solution.

Let's rewrite the inequality as $$3-x^2 > |x-a)$$. Let's plot the graphs of the left and right parts on the plane x O y xOy . The graph on the left side is a downward-branching parabola with apex at (0 ; 3) (0;3) . The graph crosses the x-axis at points (± 3 ; 0) (\pm \sqrt(3);0) . The graph of the right side is an angle with a vertex on the abscissa axis, the sides of which are directed upwards at an angle of 45 ° 45^(\circ) to the coordinate axes. The abscissa of the vertex is the point x = a x=a .

a) In order for the inequality to have at least one solution, it is necessary and sufficient that at least at one point the parabola is higher than the graph y = | x - a | y=|x-a| . This is done if the corner vertex lies between points A A and B B of the x-axis (see Fig. 12 - points A A and B B are not included). Thus, it is necessary to determine at what position of the vertex one of the branches of the corner touches the parabola.

Consider the case when the vertex of the corner is at the point A A . Then the right branch of the corner touches the parabola. Its slope equal to one. Hence, the derivative of the function y = 3 - x 2 y = 3-x^2 at the point of contact is equal to 1 1 , i.e. - 2 x = 1 -2x=1 , whence x = - 1 2 x = -\frac( 1)(2) . Then the ordinate of the touch point is y = 3 - (1 2) 2 = 11 4 y = 3 - (\frac(1)(2))^2 = \frac(11)(4) . The equation of a straight line with a slope k = 1 k=1 and passing through a point with coordinates (- 1 2 ; 11 4) (-\frac(1)(2); \frac(11)(4)) , the following is * ( \^* : y - 11 4 = 1 · (x + 1 2) y - \frac{11}{4} = 1 \cdot (x+ \frac{1}{2}) , откуда y = x + 13 4 y = x + \frac{13}{4} .!}

This is the equation of the right branch of the corner. The abscissa of the point of intersection with the xx axis is - 13 4 -\frac(13)(4) , i.e. point AA has coordinates A (- 13 4 ; 0) A(-\frac(13)(4); 0) . For reasons of symmetry, the point B B has coordinates: B (13 4 ; 0) B(\frac(13)(4); 0) .

Hence we get that a ∈ (- 13 4 ; 13 4) a\in (-\frac(13)(4); \frac(13)(4)) .

b) The inequality has positive solutions if the vertex of the corner is between the points F F and B B (see Fig. 13). Finding the position of the point FF is not difficult: if the vertex of the corner is at the point FF, then its right branch (the straight line given by the equation y \u003d x - ay \u003d xa passes through the point (0; 3) (0; 3) . From here we find that a \u003d - 3 a=-3 and the point FF has coordinates (- 3 ; 0) (-3; 0) Therefore, a ∈ (- 3 ; 13 4) a \in (-3; \frac(13)(4) ) .

ANSWER

a) a ∈ (- 13 4 ; 13 4) ,       a\in (-\frac(13)(4); \frac(13)(4)),\:\:\: b) a ∈ (- 3 ; 13 4) a \in (-3; \frac(13)(4)) .

* {\^* Полезные формулы: !}

- \-- a straight line passing through the point (x 0; y 0) (x_0; y_0) and having a slope kk is given by the equation y - y 0 = k (x - x 0) y-y_0=k(x-x_0 ) ;

- \-- slope of the straight line passing through the points (x 0 ; y 0) (x_0; y_0) and (x 1 ; y 1) (x_1; y_1) , where x 0 ≠ x 1 x_0 \neq x_1 , is calculated from formula k = y 1 - y 0 x 1 - x 0 k = \dfrac(y_1-y_0)(x_1-x_0) .

Comment. If you need to find the value of the parameter at which the straight line y = kx + ly=kx+l and the parabola y = ax 2 + bx + cy = ax^2+bx+c touch, then you can write the condition that the equation kx + l = ax 2 + bx + c kx+l = ax^2+bx+c has exactly one solution. Then another way to find the values ​​of the parameter aa, in which the corner vertex is at point A A, is the following: the equation x - a = 3 - x 2 xa = 3-x^2 has exactly one solution ⇔ D = 1 + 4 (a + 3) = 0 ⇔ a = - 13 4 \Leftrightarrow D = 1 + 4(a+3) = 0 \Leftrightarrow a = -\ dfrac(13)(4) .

Please note that in this way it is impossible to write down the condition of touching a straight line with an arbitrary graph. For example, the line y = 3 x - 2 y = 3x - 2 touches the cubic parabola y = x 3 y=x^3 at the point (1 ; 1) (1; 1) and intersects it at the point (- 2 ; - 8) (-2;-8) , i.e. the equation x 3 = 3 x + 2 x^3 = 3x+2 has two solutions.

Find all values ​​of the parameter aa for which the equation (a + 1 - | x + 2 |) (x 2 + 4 x + 1 - a) = 0 (a+1-|x+2|)(x^2 +4x+1-a) = 0 has a) exactly two distinct roots; b) exactly three distinct roots.

Let's do the same as in Example 25. Draw the set of solutions of this equation on the plane x O a xOa . It is equivalent to the combination of two equations:

1) a = | x + 2 | - 1 a = |x+2| -1 is the angle with branches up and apex at (- 2 ; - 1) (-2;-1) .

2) a \u003d x 2 + 4 x + 1 a \u003d x ^ 2 + 4x + 1 is a parabola with branches up and a vertex at the point (- 2; - 3) (-2; -3) . See fig. 14.

Find the intersection points of two graphs. The right branch of the angle is given by the equation y = x + 1 y=x+1 . Solving the Equation

x + 1 = x 2 + 4 x + 1 x+1 = x^2+4x+1

we find that x = 0 x=0 or x = - 3 x=-3 . Only the value x = 0 x=0 is suitable (because for the right branch x + 2 ≥ 0 x+2 \geq 0). Then a = 1 a=1 . Similarly, we find the coordinates of the second intersection point - (- 4 ; 1) (-4; 1) .

We return to the original problem. The equation has exactly two solutions for those a a , for which the horizontal line a = const a=\textrm(const) intersects the solution set of the equation at two points. From the graph, we see that this is true for a ∈ (- 3 ; - 1) ∪ ( 1 ) a\in (-3;-1)\bigcup\(1\) . Exactly three solutions will be in the case of three intersection points, which is possible only for a = - 1 a=-1 .

ANSWER

a) a ∈ (- 3 ; - 1) ∪ ( 1 ) ; a\in (-3;-1)\bigcup\(1\);\:\:\: b) a = - 1 a=-1 .

$$\begin(cases) x^2-x-a \leq 0,\\ x^2+2x-6a \leq 0 \end(cases) $$

has exactly one solution.

Let us represent the solutions of the system of inequalities on the plane x O a xOa . Rewrite the system as $$ \begin(cases) a \leq -x^2+x,\\ a \geq \dfrac(x^2+6x)(6) .\end(cases) $$

The first inequality is satisfied by the points lying on the parabola a = - x 2 + xa = -x^2+x and below it, and the second - by the points lying on the parabola a = x 2 + 6 x 6 a = \dfrac(x^2 +6x)(6) or higher. We find the coordinates of the vertices of the parabolas and their points of intersection, and then build a graph. The vertex of the first parabola is (1 2 ; 1 4) (\dfrac(1)(2);\dfrac(1)(4)) , the second parabola is (- 1 ; - 1 6) (-1; -\dfrac( 1)(6)) , the intersection points are (0 ; 0) (0;0) and (4 7 ; 12 49) (\dfrac(4)(7); \dfrac(12)(49)) . The set of points that satisfy the system is shown in fig. 15. It can be seen that the horizontal line a = const a=\textrm(const) has exactly one common point with this set (which means that the system has exactly one solution) in the cases a = 0 a=0 and a = 1 4 a= \dfrac(1)(4) .

ANSWER

A = 0 ,   a = 1 4 a=0,\: a=\dfrac(1)(4)

Find the smallest value of the parameter a a , for each of which the system

$$\begin(cases) x^2+y^2 + 3a^2 = 2y + 2\sqrt(3)ax,\\ \sqrt(3)|x|-y=4 \end(cases) $$

It has only decision.

Let's transform the first equation, highlighting full squares:

(x 2 - 2 3 a x + 3 a 2) + (y 2 - 2 y + 1) = 1 ⇔ (x - a 3) 2 + (y - 1) 2 = 1 . 18 (x^2- 2\sqrt(3)ax+3a^2)+(y^2-2y+1)=1 \Leftrightarrow (xa\sqrt(3))^2+(y-1)^2 =1. \:\:\:\left(18\right)

Unlike the previous tasks, it is better to depict a drawing on the x O y xOy plane (a drawing in the “variable - parameter” plane is usually used for problems with one variable and one parameter - as a result, a set is obtained on the plane. In this problem, we are dealing with two (x; y; a) (x; y; a) in three-dimensional space is a difficult task; besides, such a drawing is unlikely to be visual). Equation (18) defines a circle with center (a 3 ; 1) (a\sqrt(3);1) of radius 1. Depending on the value of a a , the center of this circle can be at any point of the line y = 1 y=1 .

The second equation of the system y = 3 | x | - 4 y = \sqrt(3)|x|-4 defines an angle with sides up at an angle of 60 ° 60^(\circ) to the x-axis (the slope of a straight line is the tangent of the slope angle tg 60 ° = 3 \textrm(tg )(60^(\circ)) = \sqrt(3)), ending at (0 ; - 4) (0;-4) .

This system of equations has exactly one solution if the circle touches one of the corner branches. This is possible in four cases (Fig. 16): the center of the circle can be at one of the points A A , B B , C C , D D . Since we need to find the smallest value of the parameter a a , we are interested in the abscissa of the point D D . Consider right triangle D H M DHM . The distance from the point D D to the line H M HM is equal to the radius of the circle, therefore D H = 1 DH=1 . So D M = D H sin 60 ° = 2 3 DM=\dfrac(DH)(\textrm(sin)(60^(\circ))) = \dfrac(2)(\sqrt(3)) . The coordinates of the point M M are found as the coordinates of the point of intersection of two lines y = 1 y=1 and y = - 3 x - 4 y=-\sqrt(3)x-4 ( left-hand side corner).

We get M (- 5 3) M(-\dfrac(5)(\sqrt(3))) . Then the abscissa of the point DD is - 5 3 - 2 3 = - 7 3 -\dfrac(5)(\sqrt(3))-\dfrac(2)(\sqrt(3))=-\dfrac(7)(\ sqrt(3)) .

Since the abscissa of the center of the circle is a 3 a\sqrt(3) , it follows that a = - 7 3 a=-\dfrac(7)(3) .

ANSWER

A = - 7 3 a=-\dfrac(7)(3)

Find all values ​​of the parameter a a , for each of which the system

$$\begin(cases) |4x+3y| \leq 12a,\\ x^2+y^2 \leq 14ax +6ay -57a^2+16a+64 \end(cases) $$

has exactly one solution.

Let us depict the solution sets of each of the inequalities on the plane x O y xOy .

In the second inequality, we select the perfect squares:

x 2 - 14 ax + 49 + y 2 - 6 ay + 9 a 2 ≤ a 2 + 16 a + 64 ⇔ (x - 7 a) 2 + (y - 3 a) 2 ≤ (a + 8) 2         (19 ) x^2-14ax+49 + y^2-6ay + 9a^2 \leq a^2 + 16a + 64 \Leftrightarrow (x-7a)^2+(y-3a)^2 \leq (a+8 )^2 \:\:\:\: (19)

For a + 8 = 0 a+8=0 (a = - 8 a=-8) inequality (19) defines a point with coordinates (7 a ; 3 a) (7a;3a) , i.e. (- 56 ; - 24) (-56; -24) . For all other values ​​of a a (19) defines a circle centered at the point (7 a ; 3 a) (7a;3a) of radius | a + 8 | |a+8| .

Consider the first inequality.
1) For negative a a it has no solutions. Hence, the system also has no solutions.

2) If a = 0 a=0 , then we get a straight line 4 x + 3 y = 0 4x+3y=0 . From the second inequality, we get a circle with center (0 ; 0) (0; 0) of radius 8. Obviously, more than one solution comes out.

3) If $$a>0$$, then this inequality is equivalent to the double inequality - 12 a ≤ 4 x + 3 y ≤ 12 a -12a \leq 4x+3y \leq 12a . It defines a strip between two lines y = ± 4 a - 4 x 3 y=\pm 4a -\dfrac(4x)(3) , each of which is parallel to the line 4 x + 3 y = 0 4x+3y=0 (Fig. 17).

Since we are considering $$a>0$$, the center of the circle is located in the first quadrant on the line y = 3 x 7 y = \dfrac(3x)(7) . Indeed, the coordinates of the center are x = 7 a x=7a , y = 3 a y=3a ; expressing a a and equating, we get x 7 = y 3 \dfrac(x)(7)=\dfrac(y)(3) , whence y = 3 x 7 y = \dfrac(3x)(7) . For the system to have exactly one solution, it is necessary and sufficient that the circle touches the line a 2 a_2 . This happens when the radius of the circle is equal to the distance from the center of the circle to the line a 2 a_2 . According to the formula for the distance from a point to a line * (\^{*} получаем, что расстояние от точки (7 a ; 3 a) (7a;3a) до прямой 4 x + 3 y - 12 a = 0 4x+3y-12a=0 равно | 4 · 7 a + 3 · 3 a - 12 a | 4 2 + 3 2 = 5 a \dfrac{|4\cdot 7a + 3\cdot 3a -12a|}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}} = 5\left|a\right| . Приравнивая к радиусу круга, получаем 5 a = | a + 8 | 5{a} = |a+8| . Так как $$a>0$$, опускаем модули и находим, что a = 2 a=2 .!}

ANSWER

A=2 a=2

* {\^{*} Пусть даны точка M (x 0 ; y 0) M (x_0;y_0) и прямая l l , !} given by the equation a x + b y + c = 0 ax+by+c=0 . Then the distance from the point M M to the line l l is determined by the formula ρ = | a x 0 + b x 0 + c | a 2 + b 2 \rho = \dfrac(|ax_0+bx_0+c|)(\sqrt(a^2+b^2)) .

For what values ​​of the parameter a a the system

$$\begin(cases) |x|+|y|=1,\\ |x+a|+|y+a|=1 \end(cases)$$ has no solutions?

The first equation of the system defines the square ABCD ABCD on the plane x O y xOy (to construct it, consider x ≥ 0 x\geq 0 and y ≥ 0 y\geq 0 . Then the equation takes the form x + y = 1 x+y=1 . We get a segment - part of the line x + y = 1 x + y \u003d 1, lying in the first quarter.Next, we reflect this segment about the axis O x Ox, and then we reflect the resulting set about the axis O y Oy) (see Fig. 18). The second equation gives the square P Q R S PQRS equal to the square A B C D ABCD , but centered at the point (- a ; - a) (-a;-a) . On fig. 18 for example this square is shown for a = - 2 a=-2 . The system has no solutions if these two squares do not intersect.

It is easy to see that if the segments P Q PQ and B C BC coincide, then the center of the second square is at the point (1 ; 1) (1; 1) . We will use those values ​​of a a , at which the center is located “above” and “to the right”, i.e. $$a1$$.

ANSWER

A ∈ (- ∞ ; - 1) ∪ (1 ; + ∞) a\in (-\infty;-1)\bigcup(1;+\infty) .

Find all values ​​of the parameter b b for which the system

$$\begin(cases) y=|b-x^2|,\\ y=a(x-b) \end(cases) $$

has at least one solution for any value of a a .

Let's consider several cases.

1) If $$b2) If b = 0 b=0 , then the system becomes $$\begin(cases) y=x^2,\\ y=ax .\end(cases) $$

For any a a, the pair of numbers (0 ; 0) (0;0) is a solution to this system, hence b = 0 b=0 fits.

3) Fix some $$b>0$$. The first equation is satisfied by the set of points obtained from the parabola y \u003d x 2 - b y \u003d x ^ 2-b by reflecting a part of this parabola about the O x Ox axis (see Fig. 19a, b). The second equation defines a family of lines (substituting various meanings a a , you can get all possible lines passing through the point (b ; 0) (b; 0) , except for the vertical one) passing through the point (b ; 0) (b; 0) . If the point (b ; 0) (b; 0) lies on the segment [ - b ; b ] [-\sqrt(b);\sqrt(b)] . the x-axis, then the straight line intersects the graph of the first function at any slope (Fig. 19a). Otherwise (Fig. 19b), in any case, there is a straight line that does not intersect this graph. Solving the inequality - b ≤ b ≤ b -\sqrt(b)\leq b \leq \sqrt(b) and taking into account that $$b>0$$, we get that b ∈ (0 ; 1 ] b \in ( 0;1] .

Combine the results: $$b \in $$.

ANSWER

$$b \in $$

Find all values ​​a a , for each of which the function f (x) = x 2 - | x - a 2 | - 3 x f(x) = x^2-|x-a^2|-3x has at least one maximum point.

Expanding the module, we get that

$$f(x) = \begin(cases) x^2-4x+a^2, \:\:\: x\geq a^2 ,\\ x^2-2x-a^2, \:\ :\: x\leq a^2 . \end(cases) $$

On each of the two intervals, the graph of the function y = f (x) y=f(x) is a parabola with branches up.

Since upward-branching parabolas cannot have maximum points, the only possibility is that the maximum point is the boundary point of these gaps - the point x = a 2 x=a^2 . There will be a maximum at this point if the vertex of the parabola y = x 2 - 4 x + a 2 y=x^2-4x+a^2 falls on the interval $$x>a^2$$, and the vertex of the parabola y = x 2 - 2 x - a 2 y=x^2-2x-a^2 - on the interval $$x\lt a^2$$ (see Fig. 20). This condition is given by the inequalities and $$2 \gt a^2$$ and $$1 \lt a^2$$, solving which we find that a ∈ (- 2 ; 1) ∪ (1 ; 2) a\in (-\ sqrt(2);1)\bigcup(1;\sqrt(2)) .

ANSWER

A ∈ (- 2 ; 1) ∪ (1 ; 2) a\in (-\sqrt(2);1)\bigcup(1;\sqrt(2))

Find all values ​​a a , for each of which general solutions inequalities

y + 2 x ≥ a y+2x \geq a and y - x ≥ 2 a                 (20) y-x \geq 2a \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: (20)

are solutions to the inequality

$$2y-x>a+3 \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: (21)$$

In order to orientate yourself in a situation, it is sometimes useful to consider a single value of a parameter. Let's make a drawing, for example, for a = 0 a=0 . Inequalities (20) (in fact, we are dealing with a system of inequalities (20)) are satisfied by the points of the angle BAC BAC (see Fig. 21) - points, each of which lies above both lines y = - 2 xy = -2x and y = xy =x (or on these lines). Inequality (21) is satisfied by points lying above the line y = 1 2 x + 3 2 y = \dfrac(1)(2)x + \dfrac(3)(2) . It can be seen that for a = 0 a=0 the condition of the problem is not fulfilled.

What will change if we take a different value of the parameter a a ? Each of the lines will move and go into a line parallel to itself, since the slopes of the lines do not depend on a a . To fulfill the condition of the problem, it is necessary that the entire angle B A C BAC lie above the line l l . Since the modulus of the slopes of the lines A B AB and A C AC is greater than the slope of the line l l , it is necessary and sufficient that the vertex of the angle lies above the line l l .

Solving the system of equations

$$\begin(cases) y+2x=a,\\ y-x=2a, \end(cases)$$

find the coordinates of point A (- a 3 ; 5 a 3) A(-\dfrac(a)(3);\dfrac(5a)(3)) . They must satisfy inequality (21), so $$\dfrac(10a)(3)+\dfrac(a)(3) > a+3$$, whence $$a>\dfrac(9)(8)$$ .

ANSWER

$$a>\dfrac(9)(8)$$

In order to fully reveal the possibilities of this method, we will consider the main types of problems.

Sample tasks for developing knowledge and skills in solving problems with parameters using a graphical method (coordinate plane)

Exercise 1.

At what valuesaequation = has two roots?

Solution.

We pass to the equivalent system:

This system defines a curve on the coordinate plane (;). It is clear that all points of this arc of the parabola (and only they) have coordinates that satisfy the original equation. Therefore, the number of solutions to the equation for each fixed value of the parameter, is equal to the number of points of intersection of the curve with the horizontal line corresponding to this parameter value.


Obviously, for the indicated lines intersect the graph at two points, which is equivalent to the original equation having two roots.

Answer: at.

Task 2.

Find all values ​​of a for which the system has a unique solution.

Solution.

Let's rewrite the original system in this form:

All solutions of this system (view pairs) form the area shown in the figure by hatching. The requirement for the uniqueness of the solution of this system into a graphical language is translated as follows: horizontal lines must have only one common point with the resulting area. It is easy to see that only straight linesand satisfy the stated requirement.


Answer: or.

The two problems just analyzed allow us to give more specific recommendations compared to those given earlier:

    try to express the parameter through a variable, i.e. get equalities of the form, then

TO tasks with parameter include, for example, the search for solutions to linear and quadratic equations v general view, the study of the equation for the number of roots available depending on the value of the parameter.

Without giving detailed definitions, consider the following equations as examples:

y = kx, where x, y are variables, k is a parameter;

y = kx + b, where x, y are variables, k and b are parameters;

ax 2 + bx + c = 0, where x are variables, a, b and c are parameters.

To solve an equation (inequality, system) with a parameter means, as a rule, to solve an infinite set of equations (inequalities, systems).

Tasks with a parameter can be conditionally divided into two types:

a) the condition says: solve the equation (inequality, system) - this means, for all values ​​of the parameter, find all solutions. If at least one case remains unexplored, such a solution cannot be considered satisfactory.

b) required to specify possible values parameter under which the equation (inequality, system) has certain properties. For example, has one solution, has no solutions, has solutions, belonging to the interval etc. In such tasks, it is necessary to clearly indicate at what value of the parameter the required condition is satisfied.

The parameter, being an unknown fixed number, has, as it were, a special duality. First of all, it must be taken into account that the alleged fame suggests that the parameter must be perceived as a number. Secondly, the freedom to handle a parameter is limited by its unknown. So, for example, the operations of dividing by an expression in which there is a parameter or extracting a root of an even degree from a similar expression require preliminary research. Therefore, care must be taken in handling the parameter.

For example, to compare two numbers -6a and 3a, three cases need to be considered:

1) -6a will be greater than 3a if a is a negative number;

2) -6a = 3a in the case when a = 0;

3) -6a will be less than 3a if a is a positive number 0.

The decision will be the answer.

Let the equation kx = b be given. This equation is shorthand for an infinite set of equations in one variable.

When solving such equations, there may be cases:

1. Let k be any real number non-zero and b is any number from R, then x = b/k.

2. Let k = 0 and b ≠ 0, the original equation will take the form 0 · x = b. Obviously, this equation has no solutions.

3. Let k and b be numbers equal to zero, then we have the equality 0 · x = 0. Its solution is any real number.

The algorithm for solving this type of equations:

1. Determine the "control" values ​​of the parameter.

2. Solve the original equation for x with the values ​​of the parameter that were determined in the first paragraph.

3. Solve the original equation for x with parameter values ​​that differ from those selected in the first paragraph.

4. You can write down the answer in the following form:

1) when ... (parameter value), the equation has roots ...;

2) when ... (parameter value), there are no roots in the equation.

Example 1

Solve the equation with the parameter |6 – x| = a.

Solution.

It is easy to see that here a ≥ 0.

By the rule of modulo 6 – x = ±a, we express x:

Answer: x = 6 ± a, where a ≥ 0.

Example 2

Solve the equation a(x - 1) + 2(x - 1) = 0 with respect to the variable x.

Solution.

Let's open the brackets: ax - a + 2x - 2 \u003d 0

Let's write the equation in standard form: x(a + 2) = a + 2.

If the expression a + 2 is not zero, i.e. if a ≠ -2, we have the solution x = (a + 2) / (a ​​+ 2), i.e. x = 1.

If a + 2 is equal to zero, i.e. a \u003d -2, then we have the correct equality 0 x \u003d 0, therefore x is any real number.

Answer: x \u003d 1 for a ≠ -2 and x € R for a \u003d -2.

Example 3

Solve the equation x/a + 1 = a + x with respect to the variable x.

Solution.

If a \u003d 0, then we transform the equation to the form a + x \u003d a 2 + ax or (a - 1) x \u003d -a (a - 1). The last equation for a = 1 has the form 0 · x = 0, therefore, x is any number.

If a ≠ 1, then the last equation will take the form x = -a.

This solution can be illustrated on the coordinate line (Fig. 1)

Answer: there are no solutions for a = 0; x - any number at a = 1; x \u003d -a with a ≠ 0 and a ≠ 1.

Graphic method

Consider another way to solve equations with a parameter - graphical. This method is used quite often.

Example 4

How many roots, depending on the parameter a, does the equation ||x| – 2| = a?

Solution.

To solve by a graphical method, we construct graphs of functions y = ||x| – 2| and y = a (Fig. 2).

The drawing clearly shows the possible cases of the location of the line y = a and the number of roots in each of them.

Answer: the equation will have no roots if a< 0; два корня будет в случае, если a >2 and a = 0; the equation will have three roots in the case a = 2; four roots - at 0< a < 2.

Example 5

For which a the equation 2|x| + |x – 1| = a has a single root?

Solution.

Let's draw graphs of functions y = 2|x| + |x – 1| and y = a. For y = 2|x| + |x - 1|, expanding the modules by the gap method, we get:

(-3x + 1, at x< 0,

y = (x + 1, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1,

(3x – 1, for x > 1.

On the Figure 3 it is clearly seen that the equation will have a unique root only when a = 1.

Answer: a = 1.

Example 6

Determine the number of solutions of the equation |x + 1| + |x + 2| = a depending on the parameter a?

Solution.

Graph of the function y = |x + 1| + |x + 2| will be a broken line. Its vertices will be located at the points (-2; 1) and (-1; 1) (picture 4).

Answer: if the parameter a is less than one, then the equation will have no roots; if a = 1, then the solution of the equation is an infinite set of numbers from the interval [-2; -one]; if the values ​​of the parameter a are greater than one, then the equation will have two roots.
