    If the equation \[{{2}^{x}}+{{4}^{y}}={{2}^{y}}+{{4}^{x}}\] is solved for y in terms of x where\[x<0\], then the sum of the solutions is

    A) \[x{{\log }_{2}}(1-{{2}^{x}})\]

    B) \[x+{{\log }_{2}}(1-{{2}^{x}})\]

    C) \[{{\log }_{2}}(1-{{2}^{x}})\]

    D) \[x{{\log }_{2}}({{2}^{x}}+1)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[{{2}^{2y}}-{{2}^{y}}+{{2}^{x}}(1-{{2}^{x}})=0\] put \[{{2}^{y}}=t\] \[{{t}^{2}}-t+{{2}^{x}}(1-{{2}^{x}})=0\] where \[{{t}_{1}}={{2}^{{{y}_{1}}}}\] and \[{{t}_{2}}={{2}^{{{y}_{2}}}}\] \[{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}={{2}^{x}}(1-{{2}^{x}})\] \[{{2}^{{{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}}}={{2}^{x}}(1-{{2}^{x}})\] \[{{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}=x+{{\log }_{2}}(1-{{2}^{x}})\]
