-
Let We need the number of distinct satisfying
-
Define We must count the number of zeros of in .
-
First check the endpoint values.
At :
At : Now for , so Hence So and , which guarantees at least one root in by the Intermediate Value Theorem.
- Now prove uniqueness. Differentiate : For , therefore So is strictly decreasing on .
A strictly decreasing continuous function can cross zero at most once. Since we already showed it crosses zero at least once, it crosses exactly once.
- Therefore, the total number of distinct solutions is
