Hey Rollingblade!
We have two equations we can manipulate here:
First, let's change the second one:
\(x(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)\\ =[x(x-3)][(x-1)(x-2)]\\ =(x^2-3x)(x^2-3x+3)\)
Now, we can change the first one:
\(x=\frac{\sqrt5-3}{2}\\ 2x+3=\sqrt5\\ (2x+3)^2=5\\ 4x^2+12x+4=0\\ x^2+3x=-1\)
We now found the value of \(x^2+3x\), and can plug this into the original equation.
\((x^2-3x)(x^2-3x+3)=-1(-1+3)=\boxed{-2}\)
I hope this helped,
Gavin.
well that was a long answer, but sorry gavin, x^2-3x does not equal x^2+3x
you could just sub in [(sqrt5-3)/2] everywhere you see x then simplify
whether you change the equation like gave did, may or may not help
[(sqrt5-3)/2] * [(sqrt5-3)/2 - 2/2] * [(sqrt5-3)/2 - 4/2] * [(sqrt5-3)/2 - 6/2]
{[(sqrt5-3)/2] * [(sqrt5-5)/2]} * {[(sqrt5-7)/2] * [(sqrt5-9)/2]}
{[(-8sqrt5-10)/4]} * {[(-16sqrt5-58)/4]}
[(624sqrt5+1220)/16]
or 99.17 rounded
