The correct Answer is:
To find the number of real roots of the equation \( \sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x - \sqrt{1 - x}} = 1 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Equation We start with the equation: \[ \sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x - \sqrt{1 - x}} = 1 \] We can isolate one of the square root terms: \[ \sqrt{x - \sqrt{1 - x}} = 1 - \sqrt{x} \] ### Step 2: Square Both Sides Next, we square both sides to eliminate the square root: \[ x - \sqrt{1 - x} = (1 - \sqrt{x})^2 \] Expanding the right side: \[ x - \sqrt{1 - x} = 1 - 2\sqrt{x} + x \] Now, simplify the equation: \[ -\sqrt{1 - x} = 1 - 2\sqrt{x} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \sqrt{1 - x} = 2\sqrt{x} - 1 \] ### Step 3: Square Again Square both sides again: \[ 1 - x = (2\sqrt{x} - 1)^2 \] Expanding the right side: \[ 1 - x = 4x - 4\sqrt{x} + 1 \] Now, simplify: \[ -x = 4x - 4\sqrt{x} \] Rearranging gives: \[ 5x = 4\sqrt{x} \] ### Step 4: Isolate the Square Root Now, isolate the square root: \[ \sqrt{x} = \frac{5x}{4} \] ### Step 5: Square Again Square both sides once more: \[ x = \left(\frac{5x}{4}\right)^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ x = \frac{25x^2}{16} \] Rearranging gives: \[ 25x^2 - 16x = 0 \] Factoring out \( x \): \[ x(25x - 16) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Find the Roots Setting each factor to zero gives: 1. \( x = 0 \) 2. \( 25x - 16 = 0 \) which leads to \( x = \frac{16}{25} \) ### Step 7: Check the Validity of Roots We have two potential roots: \( x = 0 \) and \( x = \frac{16}{25} \). We need to check if these values satisfy the original equation. 1. For \( x = 0 \): \[ \sqrt{0} + \sqrt{0 - \sqrt{1 - 0}} = 0 + \sqrt{-1} \quad \text{(not valid)} \] 2. For \( x = \frac{16}{25} \): \[ \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}} + \sqrt{\frac{16}{25} - \sqrt{1 - \frac{16}{25}}} \] Calculate \( \sqrt{1 - \frac{16}{25}} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} = \frac{3}{5} \): \[ \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}} + \sqrt{\frac{16}{25} - \frac{3}{5}} = \frac{4}{5} + \sqrt{\frac{16}{25} - \frac{15}{25}} = \frac{4}{5} + \sqrt{\frac{1}{25}} = \frac{4}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = 1 \quad \text{(valid)} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the only valid root is \( x = \frac{16}{25} \). Therefore, the number of real roots of the equation is **1**.

To find the number of real roots of the equation \( \sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x - \sqrt{1 - x}} = 1 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Equation We start with the equation: \[ \sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x - \sqrt{1 - x}} = 1 \] We can isolate one of the square root terms: ...
