Real solution of exponential equation
1) Total no. of real solution of the equation 2 x = 1 + x 2
2) Total no. of real solution of the equation 4 x = x 2
My Try: 1) Here x = 0 and x = 1 are solution of Given equation.
Now we will check for other solution which are exists or not
Let f ( x ) = 2 x x 2 1, Then f ( x ) = 2 x ln ( 2 ) 2 x and f ( x ) = 2 x ( ln ( 2 ) ) 2 2.
Now we will check the Interval of x in which function f(x) is Increasing or decreasing.
f ( x ) = 2 x ln ( 2 ) 2 x > 0
Now I did not understand How can i proceed after that

Step 1
Problem 1: First note that there are no negative solutions. For 2 x is increasing in the interval ( , 0 ), while the function 1 + x 2 is decreasing. And there is a root at x = 0.
Now I would prefer to take the ln of both sides, and consider the equation x ln 2 = ln ( 1 + x 2 ). So let f ( x ) = x ln 2 ln ( 1 + x 2 ) ..
We have f ( x ) = ln 2 2 x 1 + x 2 ..
This is positive whenever x 2 ln 2 2 x + ln 2 is positive.
Step 2
The roots of the quadratic are roughly 0.4 and 2.5. So the function is increasing up to about 0.4, then decreasing in roughly the interval (0.4,2.5).
The function reaches 0 at x = 1. Then it decreases for a while, and then starts to increase. In the long run, 2 x is much larger than 1 + x 2 , so there is an additional root somewhere beyond x = 2.5.

Step 1
Problem 2: For the equation 4 x = x 2 , note that 4 x is increasing, and x 2 is decreasing in the interval ( , 0 ). Since 4 x is below x 2 for large negative x, and above at x = 0, there is exactly one negative root.
To look for positive roots, it is easier to look at the equivalent 2 x = x, or equivalently, taking logarithms, at x ln 2 x.
Let f ( x ) = x ln 2 ln x. Then f ( x ) = ln 2 1 x . Thus f decreases in the interval (0, ln 2), then increases. The minimum alue of f(x) is positive, so there are no positive roots.
