Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) two solutions and both are negative

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(e^{4 x}+8 e^{3 x}+13 e^{2 x}-8 e^x+1=0\) Let \(e^x=t\) Now, \(t^4+8 t^5+13 t^2-8 t+1=0\) Dividing equation by \(t ^2\), \(t^2+8 t+13-\frac{8}{t}+\frac{1}{t^2}=0\) \(t^2+\frac{1}{t^2}+8\left(t-\frac{1}{t}\right)+13=0\)…
