Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
2
(2)
We have,
In order to determine the number of roots of (i), it is sufficient to find the points of intersection of the curves 
and 
. Graphs of these two curves are shown in
We observe that the two curves intersect at two points 
and 
. Hence, the equation (i) has two real solutions. Also, the solutions belong to the interval 
.
