Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
We have
`2sqrt(5 - 4x - x^(2)) = 16 - |x|`
`rArr 4(5 - 4x - x^(2)) = 256 - 32|x| + x^(2)`
`rArr 5x^(2) - 32|x| + 16x + 236 = 0`
`rArr 5x^(2) - 16x + 236 = 0`, when `x ge 0`
and `5x^(2) + 48x + 236 = 0`, when `x lt 0`.
In both cases, equation has non-real roots.
