Number of solution of the equation $ 3tanx + x^3 = 2 $ in $ \left( {0,\frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$ is
A
$0$
B
$1$
C
$2$
D
$3$
Solution
$f(x) = 3tanx + x^3$
then $f '(x) = 3sec^2x + 3x^2 > 0$
hence $f(x) \uparrow $.
Thus $ f(x)$ assume the value $2$ exactly once.
Also $f(0) = 0$ and $f\left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right)> 2$
so by intermediate value theorem $f(c) = 2$ for some $c$ in $(0,\frac{\pi}{4})$
