Đặt \(a+\dfrac{1}{36a}=x\)
pt đã cho trở thành 9x2 - 6x + 1 = 0
\(\Leftrightarrow9\left(x^2-\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{9}\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow9\left(x-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^2=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x-\dfrac{1}{3}=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x=\dfrac{1}{3}=a+\dfrac{1}{36a}=\dfrac{36a^2+1}{36a}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow12a=36a^2+1\)
\(\Leftrightarrow36a^2-12a+1=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(6a-1\right)^2=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow6a-1=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow a=\dfrac{1}{6}\) \(\Rightarrow a=6\)
