Q.
Let the function be defined by
Then the number of solutions of in is ______.
Correct answer: 1
Solution
Factor:
The denominator has discriminant , so it is positive for all real . The factor , and . So iff
Compute the derivative: for every real (even power keeps the leading term non-negative, and keeps it strictly positive). Hence is strictly increasing on and crosses zero exactly once.
The number of solutions is .
