\[f(x) = (a - 1)x^{2} + 2ax + 6 - a\]
\[(a - 1)x^{2} + 2ax + 6 - a = 0\]
\[D = 4a^{2} - 4(a - 1)(6 - a) =\]
\[= 4a^{2} - 4\left( 7a - a^{2} - 6 \right) =\]
\[= {4a}^{2} - 28a + 4a^{2} + 24 =\]
\[= 8a^{2} - 28a + 24\]
\[Уравнение\ имеет\ один\ \]

\[8a^{2} - 28a + 24 = 0\ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\ :4\]
\[2a^{2} - 7a + 6 = 0\]
\[D = 49 - 48 = 1\]
\[a = \frac{7 + 1}{4} = 2;\ \ a = \frac{7 - 1}{4} = 1,5.\]
\[При\ a = 1 - функция\ \]
