For a `alt=0,` determine all real roots of the equation `x^2-2a|x-a|-3a^2=0.`

A

0

B

1

C

2

D

infinite

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Putting x-a=t in the given equation, we get
`t(2)+2a(t+|t|)+4a^(2)=0`
It `t lt 0`, then this equation becomes `t^(2)+4a^(2)=0` which is not satisfied for any real `t lt 0`. So, let `t gt 0`.
In this case, above equation reduces to
`t^(2)+4at+4a^(2)=0 rArr t=-2a rArr x=-a`
