What is the number of real roots of the equation (x-1)^2+(x-3)^2+(x-5)^2=0 ?
Options
- ANone
- BOnly one
- COnly two
- DThree
Correct answer
A. None
Step-by-step solution
Given that, (x-1)^2+(x-3)^2+(x-5)^2=0 aligned & x^2-2 x+1+x^2-6 x+9+x^2-10 x+25=0 & 3 x^2-18 x+35=0 aligned Discriminant D =(-18)^2-4 3 35=-96 < 0 Discriminant is negative. So, the given equation does not have any real roots.
