The number of solutions of the equation

Question:

The number of solutions of the equation

$32^{\tan ^{2} x}+32^{\sec ^{2} x}=81,0 \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{4}$ is :

  1. 3

  2. 1

  3. 0

  4. 2


Correct Option: , 2

Solution:

$(32)^{\tan ^{2} x}+(32)^{\sec ^{2} x}=81$

$\Rightarrow(32)^{\tan ^{2} x}+(32)^{1+\tan ^{2} x}=81$

$\Rightarrow(32)^{\tan ^{2} x}=\frac{81}{33}$

In interval $\left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]$ only one solution
