The sum of all the solutions of the equation x ( 3 +x ) ( 3 -x )= 1 4 , x [0,6 ] is
Options
- A15
- B30
- C110 3
- DNone of these
Correct answer
B. 30
Step-by-step solution
We have, x ( 3 +x ) ( 3 -x )= 1 4 x ( 1 4 ^2 x- 3 4 ^2 x )= 1 4 or, x 4 (4 ^2 x-3 )= 1 4 4 ^3 x-3 x=1 ( 3 x=4 ^3 x-3 x ) or, 3 x=1 3 x=2 n x= 2 n 3 , where n=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9( x [0,6 ]) The required sum = 2 3 _ n=0 ^9 n=30
