Question 8

If x is real and |x2 – 2x + 3| = 11, then possible values of |- x3 + x2 – x| include

A
2, 4
B
2, 14
C
4, 52
D
14, 52
Question 8 Explanation: 
Given,
|x2 – 2x + 3| = 11, x is real
x2-2x+3 = 11
x2-2x+8 = 0
(x-4)(x+2) = 0
x = 4, -2
x2-2x+3 = -11
x2-2x+14 = 0
x is not real in this case.
|-x3+x2-x|
when x=-2
⇒ |-(-2)3+(-2)2-(-2)|
= |(-(8) + (4) + 2| = 14
x=4
⇒ |-(4)3+(4)2-(4)|
= |-64 + 16 -4|
= 52
Possible values of |-x3+x2-x| include 14, 52.
Correct Answer: D

|-x3+x2-x|
when x=-2
⇒ |-(-2)3+(-2)2-(-2)|
= |(-(8) + (4) + 2| = 14
x=4
