The correct Answer is:
To find the number of real solutions for the equation \( e^{|x|} - |x| = 0 \), we can break down the problem into steps. ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation: \[ e^{|x|} = |x| \] ### Step 2: Analyze cases based on the absolute value We need to consider two cases based on the definition of absolute value. **Case 1:** \( x \geq 0 \) In this case, \( |x| = x \). The equation simplifies to: \[ e^x = x \] **Case 2:** \( x < 0 \) Here, \( |x| = -x \). The equation becomes: \[ e^{-x} = -x \] ### Step 3: Analyze Case 1 For the equation \( e^x = x \): - The function \( e^x \) is an exponential function that is always positive and increases rapidly. - The function \( x \) is a linear function that passes through the origin. To find the intersection points, we can analyze the behavior of these functions: - At \( x = 0 \), \( e^0 = 1 \) and \( 0 = 0 \). So, \( e^x > x \) for \( x = 0 \). - As \( x \) increases, \( e^x \) grows faster than \( x \). - Therefore, there are no points where \( e^x = x \) for \( x \geq 0 \). ### Step 4: Analyze Case 2 For the equation \( e^{-x} = -x \): - The function \( e^{-x} \) is positive for all \( x \), while \( -x \) is negative for \( x < 0 \). - As \( x \) approaches negative infinity, \( e^{-x} \) approaches infinity and \( -x \) approaches positive infinity. To find the intersection points: - At \( x = -1 \), \( e^{-(-1)} = e^1 = e \) and \( -(-1) = 1 \). Since \( e > 1 \), we have \( e^{-x} > -x \). - As \( x \) decreases further (more negative), \( e^{-x} \) will continue to grow larger than \( -x \). ### Step 5: Conclusion From the analysis of both cases, we find that: - There are no solutions for \( x \geq 0 \). - There are no solutions for \( x < 0 \) since \( e^{-x} \) will always be greater than \( -x \). Thus, the number of real solutions to the equation \( e^{|x|} - |x| = 0 \) is: \[ \text{Number of real solutions} = 0 \] ### Final Answer The answer is **A. 0**.
