Consider the function defined by . Consider the statements
(I) The curve intersects the -axis exactly at one point
(II) The curve intersects the -axis at
Then
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Step-by-step explanation
Given:

So, the function is increasing in .
Thus, the function will intersect the axis only at one point.
Hence, statement is correct.
Now, putting in the equation .
Now, comparing with we get.
is a solution of .
So, statement- is also correct.
Hence, both the statements are correct.
