Question: If $ | \frac{12x}{4x^{2}+9} |\ge 1 $ for all real values of $ x, $ the inequality being satisfied only if $ | x | $ is equal to

Options:

A) $ \frac{3}{2} $

B) $ \frac{2}{3} $

C) $ \frac{1}{3} $

D) $ \frac{1}{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • [a] $ | \frac{12x}{4x^{2}+9} |\ge 1\Rightarrow \frac{12| x |}{4x^{2}+9}\ge 1 $ $ \because 4x^{2}+9>0 $
    $ \Rightarrow 4x^{2}-12| x |+9\le 0 $
    $ \Rightarrow 4{{| x |}^{2}}-12| x |+9\le 0 $
    $ \Rightarrow {{(2| x |-3)}^{2}}=0\Rightarrow | x |=\frac{3}{2} $
