Question

a. (2x - 5)2 + (4x - 10)(2 + x) + x2 + 4x + 4 = 0
b. ( 3 – x2 + 5x )( x2 – 5x + 3) = 9

Answer 1

\(a,\Rightarrow\left(2x-5\right)^2+2\left(2x-5\right)\left(x+2\right)+\left(x+2\right)^2=0\\ \Rightarrow\left(2x-5+x+2\right)^2=0\\ \Rightarrow3x-3=0\\ \Rightarrow x=1\\ b,\Rightarrow9-\left(x^2-5x\right)^2=9\\ \Rightarrow x^2-5x=0\\ \Rightarrow x\left(x-5\right)=0\Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x=5\end{matrix}\right.\)
