Detailed Solution

3x24x21+x1=0

Question Image

3x2+x1=4x22

Number of solutions is same as number of points of intersection of y=3x2+x1 and y=4x22

the graphs intersect at 4 points. Therefore number of solutions=4

or

3x24x21+x1=0

 Case 1: x21<0x(1,1)

3x2+4x21+x1=0

7x2+x5=0

x=1±14114

x=114114,1+14114

 Both roots lie in (1,1)

 Case 2:x210x(,1][1,)

3x24x21+x1=0

x2x3=0

x=1±132

x=1132,1+132

 Both roots lie in (,1][1,)

 Therefore number of solutions=4
