The solution set contained in $R$ of the inequation $3^x+3^{1-x}-4 < 0$, is :

The solution set contained in $R$ of the inequation $3^x+3^{1-x}-4 < 0$, is :
  1. $(1,3)$
  2. $(0,1)$
  3. $(1,2)$
  4. $(0,2)$

Solution

We have, $3^x+3^{1-x}-4 < 0$ $3^x+\frac{3}{3^x}-4 < 0$ $3^{2 x}+3-4 \cdot 3^x < 0$ $3^{2 x}-4 \cdot 3^x+3 < 0$ $\left(3^x-1\right)\left(3^x-3\right) < 0$ $1 < 3^x < 3 \Rightarrow 0 < x < 1$ $\therefore \quad$ The solution set is $(0,1)$.
