The correct answer is: 2

Given equation e4x+4e3x-58e2x+4ex+1=0

Let fx=e2xe2x+1e2x+4ex+1ex-58

Now let ex+1ex=t

i.e. t2+4t-58=0

t=-4±16+4×582

=-4±2622

t=-2+262 is possible and t=-2-262 is not possible as t2

i.e. ex+1ex=-2+262

e2x--2+262ex+1=0

For real solution, discriminant 248-862>0

Also -b2a=-2+2622=62-1>0

Hence, both roots of the equation are positive real roots.
