an interesting question.....( no. of sol.)

\large find \, the\,no.\,solutions\,of\,\rightarrow \,2^{x}= x^{2}+1

see actually by drawing graph no. of sol. "seems" to be 2....but actually the ans. is 3.....( i checked it on wolfram alpha )......but i want to know how shud we ans. such ques.....we offcourse can't draw graph wid such accuracy????

forget about this question if you are a JEE aspirant.... i was myself told to forget about such questions

it is 3 because the graph of 2^x is exponential so it will eventually take over the graph of x^2+1 (or for that matter any polynomial)

Now can you figure out..

* I remember when i was preparing for my IIT JEE I was shocked to know that this has 3 solutions :D... So i remember this specifically [1]

In this regard...I remember one comment that Nishant Sir had told us when Edu came to DGP for first time.......'twas about parabolas...."Haat upar karke fail jata hai ...depending on "a" "

Remember this Sir ?? (It was from Quadratic equations)

lol.. yeah kind of .. i do.. but i dont think the equation of a exponential function should be explained using that logic ;)
