The number of positive real roots of the equation 3 x + 1 + 3 - x + 1 = 10 is
Options
- A3
- B2
- C1
- DInfinitely many
Correct answer
C. 1
Step-by-step solution
Given 3 x + 1 + 3 - x + 1 = 10 i.e. 3 3 x + 3 3 x = 10 ⇒ 3 3 2 x - 10 3 x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 3 x = 10 ± 100 - 36 6 = 3 ,   1 3 i.e. x = 1 ,   - 1 Hence, only one positive real root.
