Let [x] denote the greatest integer less than or equal to x . Then,...

Let [x]\left[x\right] denote the greatest integer less than or equal to x.x . Then, the values of x∈Rx \in R satisfying the equation [ex]2+[ex+1]−3=0{\left[{e}^{x}\right]}^{2} + \left[{e}^{x} + 1\right] - 3 = 0 lie in the interval:

Options

  1. A[0,1e)\left[0, \dfrac{1}{e}\right)
  2. B[log⁡e2,log⁡e3)\left[\log_{e}2, \log_{e}3\right)
  3. C[1,e)\left[1, e\right)
  4. D[0,log⁡e2)\left[0, \log_{e}2\right)

Correct answer

D. [0,log⁡e2)\left[0, \log_{e}2\right)

Step-by-step solution

Given equation is [ex]2+[ex+1]−3=0{\left[{e}^{x}\right]}^{2} + \left[{e}^{x} + 1\right] - 3 = 0

We know that \left[x + I\right] = \left[x\right] + I, I \in Z,where[⋅],where \left[\cdot\right], represents the greatest integer function.

⇒[ex]2+[ex]+1−3=0⇒ {\left[{e}^{x}\right]}^{2} + \left[{e}^{x}\right] + 1 - 3 = 0

Let, \left[{e}^{x}\right] = t</p><p></p><p>⇒ {t}^{2} + t - 2 = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ \left(t + 2\right)\left(t - 1\right) = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ t = - 2, 1</p><p>But[ex]=−2,(</p><p>But \left[{e}^{x}\right] = - 2, (Not possible because we know that ex>0){e}^{x} > 0 )

Hence, \left[{e}^{x}\right] = 1 and also, we know that if [x]=1,⇒1≤x<2\left[x\right] = 1, ⇒ 1 \le x < 2

∴1≤ex<2∴ 1 \le {e}^{x} < 2

And, now by using the definition of logarithm, we have, if ex=a,{e}^{x} = a, then log⁡ea=x\log_{e}a = x

⇒log⁡e1≤x<log⁡e2⇒ \log_{e}1 \le x < \log_{e}2

⇒0≤x<log⁡e2⇒ 0 \le x < \log_{e}2

⇒x∈[0,log⁡e2).</p>⇒ x \in \left[0, \log_{e}2\right) .</p>
