The user wants me to solve a JEE Mathematics problem about the properties of roots of a quadratic equation.
Step-by-step Solution:
-
Analyze the given quadratic equation and conditions. The equation is . We are given that is a non-zero real number, and the equation has two distinct real roots, and , which satisfy the inequality .
-
Apply the condition for two distinct real roots. For a quadratic equation to have two distinct real roots, its discriminant must be greater than zero (). For the given equation, , , and . The discriminant is . The condition implies: This inequality holds for in the interval .
-
Apply the inequality involving the roots. The difference between the roots of a quadratic equation is given by the formula . Substituting the values for our equation: We are given the inequality . So, Since and , both sides of the inequality are positive. We can square both sides without changing the direction of the inequality: Since , we can multiply both sides by : This inequality holds for or .
-
Combine all conditions to find the set S. The set consists of all non-zero real numbers that satisfy both conditions derived above: Condition 1: Condition 2: or
To find the intersection, let's compare the boundary values: and . Thus, and .
Finding the intersection of the intervals:
- For positive : We need and . This gives the interval .
- For negative : We need and . This gives the interval .
The condition is satisfied by these intervals. Therefore, the set is the union of these two disjoint intervals:
-
Check which of the given options are subsets of S.
- Option A: . This notation seems to be a typo for the interval , as the other options are intervals. Assuming this is the intended interval, is a component of , and thus a subset of . So, A is correct.
- Option B: . This interval lies between the two disjoint intervals of . Its intersection with is empty. So, it is not a subset of . B is incorrect.
- Option C: . Similar to option B, this interval is not part of . So, it is not a subset of . C is incorrect.
- Option D: . This interval is the other component of , and thus a subset of . So, D is correct.
Final conclusion is that options A and D are the correct choices.
