Q2 of 227 Page 98

Find the square root of the following:

(6x2 + 5x –6) (6x2–x–2)(4x2 + 8x + 3)

We factorize each of the above polynomials


6x2 + 5x –6 = 6x2 + 9x –4x –6


6x2 + 5x –6 = 3x(2x + 3)–2(2x + 3)


6x2 + 5x –6 = (3x–2)(2x + 3) …(i)


6x2–x–2 = 6x2–4x + 3x–2


6x2–x–2 = 2x(3x–2) + 1(3x–2)


6x2–x–2 = (2x + 1)(3x–2) …(ii)


4x2 + 8x + 3 = 4x2 + 6x + 2x + 3


4x2 + 8x + 3 = 2x(2x + 3) + 1(2x + 3)


4x2 + 8x + 3 = (2x + 1)(2x + 3) …(iii)


Combining (i), (ii) & (iii) we get


(6x2 + 5x –6) (6x2–x–2)(4x2 + 8x + 3) = (3x–2)2(2x + 3)2(2x + 1)2


Square Root = √ (3x–2)2(2x + 3)2(2x + 1)2


| (3x–2)(2x + 3)(2x + 1)|
