The maximum value $M$ of $3^x+5^x-9^x+15^x-25^x$, as $x$ varies over reals, satisfies
$3 < M < 5$
$0 < M < 2$
$9 < M < 25$
$5 < M < 9$
If the equation $\frac{{{x^2} + 5}}{2} = x - 2\cos \left( {ax + b} \right)$ has atleast one solution, then $(b + a)$ can be equal to
Suppose that $x$ and $y$ are positive number with $xy = \frac{1}{9};\,x\left( {y + 1} \right) = \frac{7}{9};\,y\left( {x + 1} \right) = \frac{5}{{18}}$ . The value of $(x + 1) (y + 1)$ equals
If $a,b,c$ are distinct real numbers and $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3abc$ , then the equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ has two roots, out of which one root is
