a) Do \(x^2-2x-6\) là số chính phương đặt \(x^2-2x-6=a^2\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2-2x+1-7=a^2\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(x-1\right)^2-7=a^2\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(x-1\right)^2-a^2=7\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(x-a-1\right)\left(x+a-1\right)=7\)
Do: \(x-a-1< x+a-1\) nên:
\(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x-a-1=1\\x+a-1=7\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}2x-2=8\\x+a=8\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}2x=10\\x+a=8\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x=5\\a=3\end{matrix}\right.\)
Vậy: ...
