Answer:
x = 3 + √6 ; x = 3 - √6 ; ;
Step-by-step explanation:
Relation given in the question:
(x² − 6x +3)(2x² − 4x − 7) = 0
Now,
for the above relation to be true the following condition must be followed:
Either (x² − 6x +3) = 0 ............(1)
or
(2x² − 4x − 7) = 0 ..........(2)
now considering the equation (1)
(x² − 6x +3) = 0
the roots can be found out as:
for the equation ax² + bx + c = 0
thus,
the roots are
or
or
and, x =
or
and, x =
or
x = 3 + √6 and x = 3 - √6
similarly for (2x² − 4x − 7) = 0.
we have
the roots are
or
or
and, x =
or
and, x =
or
and, x =
or
and,
Hence, the possible roots are
x = 3 + √6 ; x = 3 - √6 ; ;
