If (x R ), then one of the solutions of ( x+1 -| x-1 |= 4 x-1 ) among the following is
Options
- A(x= 5 4 )
- B(x= -5 4 )
- C(x=0 )
- D(x=1 )
Correct answer
A. (x= 5 4 )
Step-by-step solution
( aligned & x+1 -| x-1 |= 4 x-1 & x+1 - 4 x-1 =| x-1 | aligned ) Squaring on both sides ( array ll & x+1+4 x-1-2 (x+1)(4 x-1) =x-1 & 5 x-2 (x+1)(4 x-1) =x-1 & 4 x+1=2 (x+1)(4 x-1) array ) Squaring on both sides ( array lll & 16 x^2+1+8 x=4 (4 x^2+3 x-1 ) & 16 x^2+8 x+1=16 x^2+12 x-4 & 4 x=5 x= 5 4 array )
