Solve for x:
2 sqrt((6-2 sqrt(x)-3 x) (2+3 sqrt(x)-x)) = 2+3 sqrt(x)-x
Raise both sides to the power of two:
4 (6-2 sqrt(x)-3 x) (2+3 sqrt(x)-x) = (2+3 sqrt(x)-x)^2
Subtract (2+3 sqrt(x)-x)^2 from both sides:
4 (6-2 sqrt(x)-3 x) (2+3 sqrt(x)-x)-(2+3 sqrt(x)-x)^2 = 0
4 (6-2 sqrt(x)-3 x) (2+3 sqrt(x)-x)-(2+3 sqrt(x)-x)^2 = 44+44 sqrt(x)-77 x-22 x^(3/2)+11 x^2:
44+44 sqrt(x)-77 x-22 x^(3/2)+11 x^2 = 0
Simplify and substitute y = sqrt(x):
44+44 sqrt(x)-77 x-22 x^(3/2)+11 x^2 = 44+44 sqrt(x)-77 sqrt(x)^2-22 sqrt(x)^3+11 sqrt(x)^4 = 11 y^4-22 y^3-77 y^2+44 y+44 = 0:
11 y^4-22 y^3-77 y^2+44 y+44 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with four terms:
11 (y-1) (y+2) (y^2-3 y-2) = 0
Divide both sides by 11:
(y-1) (y+2) (y^2-3 y-2) = 0
Split into three equations:
y-1 = 0 or y+2 = 0 or y^2-3 y-2 = 0
Add 1 to both sides:
y = 1 or y+2 = 0 or y^2-3 y-2 = 0
Substitute back for y = sqrt(x):
sqrt(x) = 1 or y+2 = 0 or y^2-3 y-2 = 0
Raise both sides to the power of two:
x = 1 or y+2 = 0 or y^2-3 y-2 = 0
Subtract 2 from both sides:
x = 1 or y = -2 or y^2-3 y-2 = 0
Substitute back for y = sqrt(x):
x = 1 or sqrt(x) = -2 or y^2-3 y-2 = 0
Raise both sides to the power of two:
x = 1 or x = 4 or y^2-3 y-2 = 0
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 1 or x = 4 or y^2-3 y = 2
Add 9/4 to both sides:
x = 1 or x = 4 or y^2-3 y+9/4 = 17/4
Write the left hand side as a square:
x = 1 or x = 4 or (y-3/2)^2 = 17/4
Take the square root of both sides:
x = 1 or x = 4 or y-3/2 = sqrt(17)/2 or y-3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2
Add 3/2 to both sides:
x = 1 or x = 4 or y = 3/2+sqrt(17)/2 or y-3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2
Substitute back for y = sqrt(x):
x = 1 or x = 4 or sqrt(x) = 3/2+sqrt(17)/2 or y-3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2
Raise both sides to the power of two:
x = 1 or x = 4 or x = (3/2+sqrt(17)/2)^2 or y-3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2
Add 3/2 to both sides:
x = 1 or x = 4 or x = (3/2+sqrt(17)/2)^2 or y = 3/2-sqrt(17)/2
Substitute back for y = sqrt(x):
x = 1 or x = 4 or x = (3/2+sqrt(17)/2)^2 or sqrt(x) = 3/2-sqrt(17)/2
Raise both sides to the power of two:
x = 1 or x = 4 or x = (3/2+sqrt(17)/2)^2 or x = (3/2-sqrt(17)/2)^2
2 sqrt((6-2 sqrt(x)-3 x) (2+3 sqrt(x)-x)) ⇒ 2 sqrt((6-2 sqrt(1)-3 1) (2+3 sqrt(1)-1)) = 4
2+3 sqrt(x)-x ⇒ 2+3 sqrt(1)-1 = 4:
So this solution is correct
2 sqrt((6-2 sqrt(x)-3 x) (2+3 sqrt(x)-x)) ⇒ 2 sqrt((6-2 sqrt(4)-3 4) (2+3 sqrt(4)-4)) = 4 i sqrt(10) ≈ 12.6491 i
2+3 sqrt(x)-x ⇒ 2+3 sqrt(4)-4 = 4:
So this solution is incorrect
2 sqrt((6-2 sqrt(x)-3 x) (2+3 sqrt(x)-x)) ⇒ 2 sqrt((6-2 sqrt((3/2-sqrt(17)/2)^2)-3 (3/2-sqrt(17)/2)^2) (2+3 sqrt((3/2-sqrt(17)/2)^2)-(3/2-sqrt(17)/2)^2)) = 2 sqrt(273-63 sqrt(17)) ≈ 7.27856
2+3 sqrt(x)-x ⇒ 2+3 sqrt((3/2-sqrt(17)/2)^2)-(3/2-sqrt(17)/2)^2 = 3 (sqrt(17)-3) ≈ 3.36932:
So this solution is incorrect
2 sqrt((6-2 sqrt(x)-3 x) (2+3 sqrt(x)-x)) ⇒ 2 sqrt((6-2 sqrt((3/2+sqrt(17)/2)^2)-3 (3/2+sqrt(17)/2)^2) (2+3 sqrt((3/2+sqrt(17)/2)^2)-(3/2+sqrt(17)/2)^2)) = 0
2+3 sqrt(x)-x ⇒ 2+3 sqrt((3/2+sqrt(17)/2)^2)-(3/2+sqrt(17)/2)^2 = 0:
So this solution is correct
