题目: $a$ 为何值时, 方程$x^2+2ax+2a^2-1=0$ 至少有一个正根?
参考思路
(1) 若方程两根都是整数, 则
\\[
\\left\\{\\begin{array}{lr} \Delta \geq 0 \\\\ x_1+x_2>0 \\\\ x_1x_2>0 \\end{array}\\right.\Rightarrow \\left\\{\\begin{array}{lr} -1\leq a\leq 1 \\\\ a\lt 0 \\\\ a>\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} 或 a\lt -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \\end{array}\\right.
\\]
所以可得: $-1\leq a\lt -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
(2) 若两根一正一负, 则$x_1x_2<0\Rightarrow -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\lt a\lt \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$.
(3) 若两根一正一零, 则
\\[
\\left\\{\\begin{array}{lr} x_1+x_2>0 \\\\ x_1x_2=0 \\end{array}\\right.\Rightarrow a=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
\\]
合并(1)(2)(3)得: $-1\leq a\lt \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$.
