Let S={α:log2(92α-4+13)-log2(53·32α-4+1)=2}. Then the maximum value of β for which the equation
x2-2(∑α∈Sα)2x+∑α∈S(α+1)2β=0 has real roots, is ________ . [2023]
(25)
Given log2(92α-4+13)-log2(52·32α-4+1)=2 ⇒log2(92α-4+1352·32α-4+1)=2⇒92α-4+1352·32α-4+1=4
⇒ 92α-4+13=10·32α-4+4⇒10·32α-4-92α-4=9
Put α=1, 10·3-2-9-2=109-181=8981≠9 (not satisfy)
Put α=2, 10·30-90=10-1=9 (satisfy)
Put α=3, 10·32-92=90-81=9 (satisfy)
Hence, α=2 or 3.
Now,
∑α∈Sα=2+3=5 and ∑α∈S(α+1)2=∑α∈Sα2+2∑α∈Sα+∑α∈S1
=4+9+2(5)+2=25
So, x2-2(5)2x+25β=0=x2-50x+25β=0
For real roots, D≥0
⇒2500-4(25β)≥0⇒100β≤2500⇒β≤25
Hence, βmax=25
