The equation 3 x ^ 2 + x + 5 = x - 3 , where x is real, has

The equation 3x2+x+5=x−3\sqrt{3{x}^{2} + x + 5} = x - 3, where xx is real, has

Options

  1. Ano solution
  2. Bexactly four solutions
  3. Cexactly one solution
  4. Dexactly two solutions

Correct answer

A. no solution

Step-by-step solution

\sqrt{3{x}^{2} + x + 5} = x - 3 . . . \left(1\right)

We know thatforaquadraticexpressionax2+bx+c,a>0,for a quadratic expressiona{x}^{2} + bx + c, a > 0, if discriminant i.e. D=b2−4ac<0,D = {b}^{2} - 4ac < 0, then the quadratic is always positive for all real values of the variable.

Now, consider 3x2+x+53{x}^{2} + x + 5

We have, discriminant =b2−4ac=1−4×3×5<0= {b}^{2} - 4ac = 1 - 4 \times 3 \times 5 < 0

∴3x2+x+5>0,∀x∈R∴ 3{x}^{2} + x + 5 > 0, \forall x \in R

Squaring \left(1\right),weget,</p><p>we get,</p><p>3{x}^{2} + x + 5 = {\left(x - 3\right)}^{2}

⇒3x2+x+5=x2−6x+9⇒ 3{x}^{2} + x + 5 = {x}^{2} - 6x + 9

⇒2x2+7x−4=0⇒ 2{x}^{2} + 7x - 4 = 0

⇒(x+4)(2x−1)⇒ \left(x + 4\right)\left(2x - 1\right) = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ x = - 4,x = 12\dfrac{1}{2}

But x−3<0x - 3 < 0 for x=−4,12x = - 4, \dfrac{1}{2}

Hence, the equation has no solution.
