Intersection Parameter 542501
1. **State the problem:** We have two sets defined by equations:
Set A: $y=\frac{2x-1}{x}$
Set B: $y=ax+2$
We are told that the intersection $A \cap B$ is non-defined, meaning there is no solution $(x,y)$ that satisfies both equations simultaneously.
2. **Set the equations equal to find intersection:** To find the intersection, set the expressions for $y$ equal:
$$\frac{2x-1}{x} = ax + 2$$
3. **Multiply both sides by $x$ to clear the denominator:**
$$2x - 1 = ax^2 + 2x$$
4. **Rearrange to form a quadratic equation:**
$$ax^2 + 2x - (2x - 1) = 0$$
Simplify the right side:
$$ax^2 + 2x - 2x + 1 = 0$$
$$ax^2 + 1 = 0$$
5. **Rewrite the quadratic:**
$$ax^2 = -1$$
6. **Analyze the quadratic for real solutions:**
For $x$ to be real, the equation $ax^2 = -1$ must have real solutions.
Since $x^2 \geq 0$ for all real $x$, the right side $-1$ is negative.
Therefore, for any real $x$, $ax^2 = -1$ implies $a$ must be negative to make the left side negative.
7. **Check if solutions exist:**
Rewrite as:
$$x^2 = -\frac{1}{a}$$
For $x^2$ to be real and non-negative, $-\frac{1}{a} \geq 0$.
This means:
$$-\frac{1}{a} \geq 0 \implies a < 0$$
8. **Condition for no intersection:**
If $a < 0$, then $x^2 = -\frac{1}{a} > 0$ and there are two real solutions, so intersection exists.
If $a > 0$, then $x^2 = -\frac{1}{a} < 0$ which is impossible for real $x$, so no real solutions exist.
9. **Conclusion:**
The intersection is non-defined (no real solutions) if and only if:
$$a > 0$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{a > 0}$$
