The equation e ^ x - e ^ - x =4 has _______ solutions.
Options
- A2
- B4
- C3
- Dno
Correct answer
D. no
Step-by-step solution
e ^ x -e^ - x -4=0 Let e ^ x =y , then the given equation can be written as y^2-4 y-1=0 y=2 5 But the value of y= e ^ x is always positive, so aligned & y=2+ 5 & e ^ x =2+ 5 & e ^ x e & x 1 aligned aligned & [ 2 5 ] & [ 2+ 5 e ] aligned which is not possible, since x cannot be greater than 1. Hence, no real value of x satisfies the given equation.
