Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We have,
`3^|x|{2-|x|}=1 " "`..........(i)
` implies 2-|x|=3^(-|x|)`
In order to determine the number of roots of (i), it is sufficient to find the points of intersection of the curves `y=2-|x|` and `y=3^(-|x|)`. Graphs of these two curves are shown in Fig.2.

We observe that the two curves intersect at two points P and Q. Hence, the equation (i) has two real solutions. Also the solutions belong to the interval (-2,2).
