Cevap

The values that xx could take are 3-3, 00, and 33.
The inequality y31|y - 3| \le 1 restricts yy to the closed interval [2,4][2, 4]. Consequently, 2y2y lies in [4,8][4, 8], which means 4x2484 \le |x^2 - 4| \le 8. Breaking this compound inequality into cases yields x=0x = 0 (from x2=0x^2 = 0) or x[12,8][8,12]x \in [-\sqrt{12}, -\sqrt{8}] \cup [\sqrt{8}, \sqrt{12}]. Since 82.83\sqrt{8} \approx 2.83 and 123.46\sqrt{12} \approx 3.46, the integer values 3-3 and 33 fall in these intervals, alongside 00. Thus, 3-3, 00, and 33 are all valid choices.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the acceptable range for yy from the given absolute value inequality.
Solving y31|y - 3| \le 1 gives 1y31-1 \le y - 3 \le 1, which simplifies to 2y42 \le y \le 4.
The inequality ycr|y - c| \le r represents all values of yy within distance rr from cc.
2
Relate the range of yy to the absolute value expression x24|x^2 - 4|.
Since 2y42 \le y \le 4, multiplying by 22 yields 42y84 \le 2y \le 8. Therefore, 4x2484 \le |x^2 - 4| \le 8.
Substitute 2y=x242y = |x^2 - 4| into the inequality derived for yy.
3
Analyze the two cases for the absolute value equation x24|x^2 - 4|.
Case 1: 4x248    8x2124 \le x^2 - 4 \le 8 \implies 8 \le x^2 \le 12, which gives x[12,8][8,12]x \in [-\sqrt{12}, -\sqrt{8}] \cup [\sqrt{8}, \sqrt{12}]. Case 2: 4(x24)8    44x28    4x24    4x204 \le -(x^2 - 4) \le 8 \implies 4 \le 4 - x^2 \le 8 \implies -4 \le -x^2 \le 4 \implies -4 \le x^2 \le 0. Since x20x^2 \ge 0 for all real numbers, x2=0    x=0x^2 = 0 \implies x = 0.
Absolute value A|A| splits into AA when A0A \ge 0 and A-A when A<0A < 0.
4
Evaluate the test values against the valid domains for xx.
For x=3x = -3, x2=9x^2 = 9, which satisfies 89128 \le 9 \le 12. For x=0x = 0, x2=0x^2 = 0, which satisfies x2=0x^2 = 0. For x=3x = 3, x2=9x^2 = 9, which satisfies 89128 \le 9 \le 12. The values x=2x = 2 and x=4x = 4 give x2=4x^2 = 4 and x2=16x^2 = 16, neither of which fall into the valid intervals.
Checking test options confirms which values fall within the solution intervals.
