For real number a, let f (x) be a quadratic function satisfying + ax2 x and f (0) = a2 – a – 6. If f (x) = 0 has atleast one positive real solution then find sum of all possible integral values of a.

differentiate with respect to x.
f (x) = x f ' (x) + f (x) – 4x2 + 2ax
f ' (x) = 4x – 2a
f (x) = 2x2 – 2ax + c
c = a2 – a – 6
f (x) = 2x2 – 2ax + a2 – a – 6
Case-I:
F(0) < 0
A (–2,3) ……..(1)

Case-II:
sum = – 1 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 Ans.
