Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) exactly one real root

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(6^{x}+8^{x}=10^{x}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{x}+\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{x}=1 \Rightarrow\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{x}=1-\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{x}\) \(\therefore \quad 6^{x}+8^{x}=10^{x}\) has exactly one real root
