  2. $ - 7,\sqrt {29} $

  3. $ \pm \sqrt {29} $

  4. $ - 7,29$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$|x+1|^2$ will be always non negative so we can expand it and remove modulus.


So, Equation becomes $x^2+2x-25 -|x+2| = 0$ 


For $x > -2$
$x^2 + x - 27 = 0$ which gives $x=\dfrac{-1 ^+ _-\sqrt{(109)}}{2}$
But since we assumed $x>-2$, $x=\dfrac{-1 + \sqrt{109}}{2}$

Now for $x<-2$
$x^2+3x -23$ which gives x = $\dfrac{-3 ^+ _- \sqrt{101}}{2}$
But since we assumed $x<-2$, x = $\dfrac{-3-\sqrt{101}}{2}$

  1. $2, 18$

  2. $9, 4$

  3. $3, 12$

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$36 = 1 \times 36$
     $= 2 \times 18$
     $= 3 \times 12$
     $= 4 \times 9$
     $= 6 \times 6$

1 + 36 = 37,  2 + 18 = 20,  3 + 12 = 15,  4 + 9 = 13,  6 + 6 = 12

Here, $12 < 13 < 15 < 20 < 37$


$\therefore \left( {6,6} \right)$ 

None of These

  1. $5$

  2. $6$

  3. $7$

  4. $8$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$a=1\ a+(n-1)d=11\ 1+(n-1)d=11\ (n-1)d=10$

Also, Sum $= \cfrac { [a+(a+(n-1)d)] }{ 2 } n$
$\Rightarrow 36=n\times \cfrac { 12 }{ 2 }$
$\Rightarrow n=6$

How many distinct real solutions does the equation $((x^2 - 2)^2 - 5)^2 = 1$ have ?

maths solving equations numerically finding roots by iteration fundamental theorem of algebra complex numbers and linear inequations

  1. 5

  2. 6

  3. 8

  4. 9

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This equation is equivalent to
$(x^2 - 2)^2 - 5 = 1$  or $(x^2 -2)^2 - 5 = -1$


The first is equivalent to $x^2 - 2 = \sqrt{6}$ or $\ x^2 - 2 = - \sqrt{6}$, 
$x=\pm (2+\sqrt 6)$ or $x^2 \neq -\sqrt 6 +2 $
with $2$ and $0$ solutions respectively (since - $\sqrt{6}$ + 2 < 0).
The latter is equivalent to $x^2 - 2 = 2$ or $x^2 - 2 = -2,$ 
$x=\pm 2$ or $x=0$
with $2$ and $1$ solution(s) respectively.
So we have $2+0+2+1 = 5$ solutions in total.
