The number of solution of the equation $2\cos ({e^x}) = {5^x} + {5^{ - x}}$, are
A
No solution
B
One solution
C
Two solutions
D
Infinitely many solutions
(IIT-1992)
Solution
(a) We know $\frac{{{5^x} + {5^{ – x}}}}{2} \ge 1$, (using $A.M.$ $ \ge $ $G.M.$)
But since ${\rm{cos}}\,({e^x}) \le 1,$
So, there does not exist any solution.
