Correct answer: A
-
Interpret the equation carefully
The equation is
for .
Here is mentioned in the statement, but it does not appear in the equation, so it is irrelevant.
-
Set a substitution
Let
Since , we have
The equation becomes
-
Apply domain restrictions of inverse trigonometric functions
For to be defined, we need . So,
Since , the left inequality is automatic, and the right gives
For to be defined, we need . So,
Since , this is always satisfied.
Hence the common domain is
-
Estimate the left-hand side
For :
-
, so
In particular,
-
, so
Therefore,
So the entire left-hand side satisfies
-
-
Compare with the right-hand side
But the right-hand side is , and since ,
Hence,
Therefore the equation can never hold.
-
Conclusion
There is no solution for , hence no solution for .
So the number of solutions is
-
