MCQ
The equation $\sqrt {(x + 1)} - \sqrt {(x - 1)} = \sqrt {(4x - 1)} $ has
  • No solution
  • B
    One solution
  • C
    Two solutions
  • D
    More than two solutions

Answer

Correct option: A.
No solution
a
(a) Given $\sqrt {(x + 1)} - \sqrt {(x - 1)} = \sqrt {(4x - 1)} $

Squaring both sides, we get $ - 2\sqrt {({x^2} - 1)} = 2x - 1$

Squaring again, we get $x = 5/4$ which does not satisfy the given equation.

Hence equation has no solution.
