Question

Which equation has roots of 3plus or minus sqare rt 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D is correct.

The equation with roots 3 plus or minus square root 2 is x² - 6x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots of the unknown equation are

3 ± √2, that is, (3 + √2) and (3 - √2)

The equation can then be reconstructed by writing these roots as the solutions of the quadratic equation

x = (3 + √2) or x = (3 - √2)

The equation is this

[x - (3 + √2)] × [x - (3 - √2)]

(x - 3 - √2) × (x - 3 + √2)

x(x - 3 + √2) - 3(x - 3 + √2) - √2(x - 3 + √2)

= x² - 3x + x√2 - 3x + 9 - 3√2 - x√2 + 3√2 - 2

Collecting like terms

= x² - 3x - 3x + x√2 - x√2 - 3√2 + 3√2 + 9 - 2

= x² - 6x + 7

Hope this Helps!!!
