ĐKXĐ:x\(\ge-1\)
Đặt \(\sqrt{x+1}=a\ge0\)
\(\Rightarrow\hept{\begin{cases}a^2=x+1\\a^2-1=x\\x^2=a^4-2a^2+1\end{cases}}\)
Khi đó pt trên trở thành : \(4a=a^4-2a^2+1-5\left(a^2-1\right)+14\)
\(\Leftrightarrow a^4-2a^2+1-5a^2+5+14-4a=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow a^4-7a^2-4a+20=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow a^4-4a^2-3a^2+6a-10a+20=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow a^2\left(a-2\right)\left(a+2\right)-3a\left(a-2\right)-10\left(a-2\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(a-2\right)\left(a^3+2a^2-3a-10\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(a-2\right)\left(a^3-2a^2+4a^2-8a+5a-10\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(a-2\right)\left(a-2\right)\left(a^2+4a+5\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(a-2\right)^2=0\)(vì a2+4a+5=(a+2)2+1\(\ge1>0\))
\(\Leftrightarrow x=2\)(thỏa mãn ĐKXĐ)
