Let a denotes the number of non-negative values of p for which the equation p 2^x+2^ -x =5 possess a unique solution. If a, ₁, ₂, , ₂₀, 6 are in H.P. and a, ₁, ₂, , ₂₀, 6 are in A.P. find ₁₈ ₃ .
Correct answer
12
Step-by-step solution
For p=0 unique solution For p 0, p t+ 1 t =5 p t^2-5 t+1=0 D=0,25=4 p aligned p & = 25 4 a & =2 aligned Now, 2, ₁, ₂, , ₂₀, 6 H.P. 2, ₁, ₂, , ₂₀, 6 A.P. Now, ₁₈ ₃=2 6=12
