    The roots of the equation \[{{3}^{2x}}-{{10.3}^{x}}+9\]=0 are

    A) 1, 2

    B) 0, 2

    C) 0, 1

    D) 1, 3

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given equation is \[{{3}^{2x}}-{{10.3}^{x}}+9=0\] can be written as \[{{({{3}^{x}})}^{2}}-10({{3}^{x}})+9=0\] Let \[a={{3}^{x}}\], then it  reduces to the equation \[{{a}^{2}}-10a+9=0\,\,\,\Rightarrow (a-9)(a-1)=0\,\,\Rightarrow a=9,1\] Now \[a={{3}^{x}}\,\,\Rightarrow 9={{3}^{x}}\,\,\Rightarrow {{3}^{2}}={{3}^{x}}\,\,\Rightarrow x=2\] and \[1={{3}^{x}}\]\[\Rightarrow \,\,{{3}^{0}}={{3}^{x}}\,\,\Rightarrow x=0\]. Hence roots are 0, 2.
