Cho \(A = \frac{1}{{2 + 2\sqrt a }} + \frac{1}{{2 - 2\sqrt a }} - \frac{{{a^2} + 1}}{{1 - {a^2}}}\)

a) Tìm điều kiện xác định rồi rút gọn A

b) Tìm a để \[{\rm{A}} < \frac{1}{3}\].

a) Điều kiện xác định a ≥ 0, a ≠ 1

\(A = \frac{1}{{2 + 2\sqrt a }} + \frac{1}{{2 - 2\sqrt a }} - \frac{{{a^2} + 1}}{{1 - {a^2}}}\)

\({\rm{A}} = \frac{1}{{2\left( {1 + \sqrt a } \right)}} + \frac{1}{{2\left( {1 - \sqrt a } \right)}} - \frac{{{a^2} + 1}}{{\left( {1 - a} \right)\left( {1 + a} \right)}}\)

\({\rm{A}} = \frac{1}{{2\left( {1 + \sqrt a } \right)}} + \frac{1}{{2\left( {1 - \sqrt a } \right)}} - \frac{{{a^2} + 1}}{{\left( {1 - \sqrt a } \right)\left( {1 + \sqrt a } \right)\left( {1 + a} \right)}}\)

\(A = \frac{{\left( {1 - \sqrt a } \right)\left( {1 + a} \right) + \left( {1 + \sqrt a } \right)\left( {1 + a} \right) - \left( {{a^2} + 1} \right)2}}{{2\left( {1 + \sqrt a } \right)\left( {1 - \sqrt a } \right)\left( {1 + a} \right)}}\)

\(A = \frac{{1 + a - \sqrt a - a\sqrt a + 1 + a + \sqrt a + a\sqrt a - 2{a^2} + 2}}{{2\left( {1 + \sqrt a } \right)\left( {1 - \sqrt a } \right)\left( {1 + a} \right)}}\)

\({\rm{A}} = \frac{{2a - 2{a^2}}}{{2\left( {1 - a} \right)\left( {1 + a} \right)}}\)

\({\rm{A}} = \frac{{2a\left( {1 - a} \right)}}{{2\left( {1 - a} \right)\left( {1 + a} \right)}}\)

\({\rm{A}} = \frac{a}{{1 + a}}\)

b) Để \[{\rm{A}} < \frac{1}{3}\]\( \Leftrightarrow \frac{a}{{1 + a}} < \frac{1}{3}\)

\( \Leftrightarrow \frac{a}{{1 + a}} - \frac{1}{3} < 0\)\( \Leftrightarrow \frac{{3a - a - 1}}{{1 + a}} < 0\)

\( \Leftrightarrow 2{\rm{a}} - 1 < 0\)\( \Leftrightarrow {\rm{a}} < \frac{1}{2}\)

Mà a ≥ 0, a ≠ 1

Suy ra \({\rm{0}} \le {\rm{a}} < \frac{1}{2}\)

Vậy \({\rm{0}} \le {\rm{a}} < \frac{1}{2}\).
