If x 2 + 5 x + 5 x + 5 = 1 then the number of integers satisfying this equation is

If x2+5x+5x+5=1 then the number of integers satisfying this equation is
  1. 2
  2. 3
  3. 4
  4. 5

Solution

Given that, x2+5x+5x+5=1

This is possible when x2+5x+50 & x+5=0 or x2+5x+5=1 or x2+5x+5=-1 & x+5=even integer

Case1, x+5=0

x=-5

And for this value of xx2+5x+50

Case2, x2+5x+5=1

x2+5x+4=0

x+1x+4=0

x=-1, -4

Case3, x2+5x+5=-1

x2+5x+6=0

x+2x+3=0

x=-2, -3

But for x=-2, we get x+5=3 which is not even.

Hence, the number of integers satisfying this equation is 4.
