What is the number of solutions of the equation 2 x 3 x=1 for 0 < x < ?
Options
- AOnly one
- BOnly two
- COnly five
- DMore than five
Correct answer
C. Only five
Step-by-step solution
We have given, 2 x 3 x=1 (given) aligned & 2 x 3 x- 2 x 3 x=0 & (2 x+3 x)= 5 x=0 aligned Hence 5 x= 2 , 3 2 , 5 2 , 7 2 , 9 2 , But 0 < x < x = 10 , 3 10 , 5 10 , 7 10 , 9 10 Thus only five values of x are possible.
