The equation `3^(x-1)+5^(n-1)=34` has

A

no solution

B

one solution

C

two solutions

D

more than two solutions

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We have,
`3^(x-1)+5^(x-1)=34`
`implies 3^(x-1)+5^(x-1)=3^(2)+5^(2) impliesx-1=2 implies x=3`
So, the given equation has just one solution.
ALITER The total number of solutions is same as the number of points of intersection of the curves
`y=3^(x-1)+5^(x-1)` and y=34

It is evident from the graph that these two curves intersect at exactly one point. Hence, the given equation has exactly one solution.
