Let 2x=t
5+∣t−1∣=t2−2t
⇒g(t)∣t−1∣=f(t)(t2−2t−5)
Since, 2x>0∀x∈R⇒t>0
From the graph, we have

It is clear from the graph that the two graphs have only one point of intersection.
So, number of real roots of the given equation is 1.
The number of real roots of the equation 5+∣2x−1∣=2x(2x−2) is :

Let $a_{1}=1$ and for $n \geqslant 1, a_{n+1}=\frac{1}{2} a_{n}+\frac{n^{2}-2 n-1}{n^{2}(n+1)^{2}}$. Then $\left|\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(a_{n}-\frac{2}{n^{2}}\right)\right|$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$.
Let $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, \ldots$ be G.P. of increasing positive terms such that $a_{2} \cdot a_{3} \cdot a_{4}=64$ and $a_{1}+a_{3}+a_{5}=\frac{813}{7}$. Then $a_{3}+a_{5}+a_{7}$ is equal to :
Let $\sum_{k=1}^{n} a_{k}=\alpha n^{2}+\beta n$. If $a_{10}=59$ and $a_{6}=7 a_{1}$, then $\alpha+\beta$ is equal to
Consider an A.P.: $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{\mathrm{n}} ; a_{1}>0$. If $a_{2}-a_{1}=\frac{-3}{4}, a_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{4} a_{1}$, and $\sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{\mathrm{n}} a_{\mathrm{i}}=\frac{525}{2}$, then $\sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{17} a_{\mathrm{i}}$ is equal to
Let $a_{1}, \frac{a_{2}}{2}, \frac{a_{3}}{2^{2}}, \ldots, \frac{a_{10}}{2^{9}}$ be a G.P. of common ratio $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$. If $a_{1}+a_{2}+\ldots+a_{10}=62$, then $a_{1}$ is equal to :
