Q4 of 59 Page 70

Solve the following equations.

Given:


We first put x = 0 in the expression and obtain:



(1+√3)/( 1-√3)=4/1 which does not hold true.


x=0 is not a solution.


Now, Consider


Apply componendo and dividendo:





Squaring both sides:



Cross multiply and get:


36x + 9 = 25x + 75


36x -25x = 75 - 9


11x = 66


x = 6


x = 6 is the solution.
