Correct answer: D
-
Let We want the equation to have two distinct real roots in .
-
Check the monotonicity of . Differentiate: Since is strictly increasing on all of .
-
A strictly increasing function can intersect the -axis at most one point. That means the equation cannot have two distinct real roots anywhere on the real line, and hence certainly not in .
-
Therefore, there is no real number for which the equation has two distinct real roots in .
-
Hence the correct option is:
