How many odd natural numbersare possible which satisfy the inequality(...
We can see that at x= 2,6,10,14,18 the function becomes 0
After every root, the function changes its value.
for x > 18; the equation is always positive hence no solution
for 14<x<18, the equation is negative and 15 & 17 are 2 odd numbers satisfying it
for 10<x<14; the equation is always positive
for 6 < x < 10 ; the equation is negative and 7 & 9 are 2 odd numbers satisfying it
for 2<x<6, the function will be always positive hence no solution
For 0<x<2 the function will be negative. 1 is the only odd number in this range
Total 5 such numbers are there.
