a) ĐKXĐ: a2-1 ≠0 ⇔ (a-1)(a+1)≠0 ⇔\(\left[{}\begin{matrix}a-1\ne0\\a+1\ne0\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}a\ne1\\a\ne-1\end{matrix}\right.\)
b) A=\(\dfrac{2a^2}{a^2-1}-\dfrac{a}{a+1}+\dfrac{a}{a-1}\) , a≠1, -1
=\(\dfrac{2a^2}{\left(a-1\right)\left(a+1\right)}-\dfrac{a\left(a-1\right)}{\left(a-1\right)\left(a+1\right)}+\dfrac{a\left(a+1\right)}{\left(a-1\right)\left(a+1\right)}\)
=\(\dfrac{2a^2-a\left(a-1\right)+a\left(a+1\right)}{\left(a-1\right)\left(a+1\right)}\)
=\(\dfrac{2a^2-a^2+a+a^2+a}{\left(a-1\right)\left(a+1\right)}\)
=\(\dfrac{2a^2+2a}{\left(a-1\right)\left(a+1\right)}\) =\(\dfrac{2a\left(a+1\right)}{\left(a-1\right)\left(a+1\right)}\) =\(\dfrac{2a}{a-1}\)
vậy A =\(\dfrac{2a}{a-1}\) với a≠1,-1.
c) Có:A= \(\dfrac{2a}{a-1}\) = \(\dfrac{2a-2+2}{a-1}=\dfrac{2\left(a-1\right)+2}{a-1}=2+\dfrac{2}{a-1}\)
Để a∈Z thì a-1 ∈ Z ⇒ (a-1) ∈ Ư(2) =\(\left\{1;-1;2;-2\right\}\)
Ta có bảng sau:
a-1 | 1 | -1 | 2 | -2 |
a | 2 | 0 | 3 | -1 |
Thử lại | TM | TM | TM | ko TM(vì a≠-1 |
Vậy để biểu thức A có giá trị nguyên thì a∈\(\left\{2;0;3\right\}\)
