Analyzing function behavior
I'm looking at the function y=∣x∣+1x+1 to see if a line passes through three distinct points with their x-coordinates summing to zero. This leads me to explore the slope possibilities.
Mapping the function
Breaking down y=∣x∣+1x+1 into two cases: for x≥0, y=1; and for x<0, y=1−xx+1.
Charting the curve
For x<0, I’m analyzing y=1−xx+1. Calculating specific values and observing limits to understand the function's behavior better.
Piecing together intersections
Considering a line y=kx+b that intersects y=1 for x≥0 and y=1−xx+1 for x<0.
Finding intersections
I’m hypothesizing that to achieve three distinct intersections, the line slopes in a way that it intersects y=1−xx+1 at two points for x<0 and y=1 for x≥0.
Solving quadratic equations
I'm working through the quadratic equation mx2+x(1−m+c)+(1−c)=0 to ensure distinct negative solutions for x<0.
Ensuring intersection validity
I’m confirming the discriminant is positive and both x-values for x<0 are negative. Checking the sum of x-coordinates to ensure the balance of intersections is maintained.
Balancing equations
Ensuring the sum of the x-coordinates equals zero, I deduced that c=2m by combining and simplifying terms from the quadratic equation.
Ensuring distinct intersections
I’m connecting c=2m to maintain the sum of x-coordinates as zero. Now, I’m examining conditions on m to ensure the intersections are distinct and valid.
Laying out the options
OK, I’m working through different cases: for m>0, 0<m<2. m<0 and m=0 lead to contradictions.
Confirming validity
I’m concluding that for the line to intersect in x>0, 0<m<2 holds true. Negative slopes and m=0 lead to contradictions.
Mapping intersections
I’m identifying the intersection points of the line y=mx+2m with y=1−xx+1, ensuring they are distinct within x<0.
Piecing together the equation
I’m carefully simplifying the expression (1−x)(x+1/2) to ensure all terms are combined correctly, aiming to solve for the intersections within x<0.
Simplifying the equation
I’m combining like terms to streamline the equation mx2+(1−m/2)x+(1−m/2)=0. This involves defining coefficients A=m, B=(1−m/2), and C=(1−m/2).
Determining intersections
I’m ensuring two distinct real solutions for x<0 by checking the discriminant p(p−4m)>0. Noting that p=1−2m and p is positive.
Ensuring progress
I'm combining inequalities to confirm m<92 to guarantee two distinct real solutions for x<0. This maintains positivity and leads to distinct intersections.
Confirming negative solutions
I’m piecing together the roots' sign. With a negative sum and positive product, it’s clear that the two distinct real solutions for x<0 are negative.
Piecing together intersections
I found that for 0<m<92, the line intersects the function at three distinct points, balancing positive and negative x-coordinates and summing to zero.
Confirming intersection points
To achieve three distinct intersection points, the avenue between 0<m<92 remains open, showing distinct and valid intersections for both positive and negative x-coordinates.
Finding the sweet spot
I’m focusing on 0<m<92 to ensure three unique intersections with the function, balancing positive and negative x-coordinates perfectly.
Analyzing endpoints
I’m thinking about how the slope range 0<m<92 affects the intersections. For m=0, the line y=0 only intersects at x=−1. For m=92, I’m determining if it intersects the function at three distinct points and if it should be included in the range.
