The number of solutions of the equation | x|= x+ 1 x ,(0 x 2 ) is
Options
- A0
- B1
- C2
- D3
Correct answer
B. 1
Step-by-step solution
With the help of group of cot x , we know that When x (0, 2 ] ( , 3 2 ] , then x 0 | x|= x+ 1 x x= x+ 1 x 1 x =0 No solution exist. ...(i) When x ( 2 , ) ( 3 2 , 2 ) , then x < 0 aligned & &| x|= x+ 1 x &- x &= x+ 1 x &-2 x &= 1 x & & x= -1 2 x= 2 3 ...(ii) aligned From Eqs. (i) and (ii), only one solution exists.
