From the graph (– ∞, – 16] ⋃ [4, ∞) Ans.
Aliter-1: For the given condition to be satisfied, the value of k must lie between the slopes of line OA and OB.
For slope of line OA,
– (x2 – 10x + 9) = kx must have equal roots.
⇒ (k – 10)2 – 36 = 0 ⇒ k = 4, 16 ⇒ k = 4
For slope of the line OB,
x2 – 10x + 9 = kx must have equal roots
⇒ (k + 10)2 – 36 = 0 ⇒ k = – 4, – 16
∴ k Î [4, ∞) ⋃ (– ∞, – 16] Ans.
Aliter-2: x2 – 10x + 9 = ± kx
x2 – (10 ± k) x + 9 = 0
D = (10 ± k)2 – 36 = 0
10 + k = ± 6 ⇒ k = – 16 or – 4
and
10 – k = ± 6 ⇒ k = 16 or 4
Now, draw the graph of y = | x2 – 10x + 9 |
= 0, when x = 5
y(5) = – 16
For y = kx to intersect y = | x2 – 10x + 9 |,
k ≤ 4 or k ≤ – 16
Hence, k ∈ (– ∞, – 16] ⋃ [4, ∞).
