The sum of the solutions x R of the equation 3 2x+ 3 2x 6 x- 6 x=x3-x2+6 is
- 3
- 1
- 0
- -1
Answer
(4) -1
Solution
6x- 6x=( 2x- 2x)(1- 2x 2x)
= 2x (1- 22x4 )= 2x (3+ 22x)4
LHS = 2x (3+ 22x) 2x (3+ 22x)/4=4 ( 2x 0)
x3-x2+2=0 (x+1)(x2-2x+2)=0
x2-2x+2=(x-1)2+1>0, only real root x=-1 (and (-2) 0)
Sum =-1
Answer: (4)
