Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) exactly three real solutions

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let `\( y = \log_2 x \)`. `\( (2^y)^{\frac{3}{4}y^2+y-\frac{5}{4}} = 2^{\frac{1}{2}} \)` `\( y\left(\frac{3}{4}y^2+y-\frac{5}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \)` `\( 3y^3+4y^2-5y-2 = 0 \)` `\( (y-1)(3y^2+7y+2) = 0 \)` `\( (y-1)(3y+1)(y+2) = 0 \)` `\( y = 1, y = -\frac{1}{3}, y = -2 \)`…
