Answer to Problem 19WE

The required solution set is {6,2} .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  x24x=3

Calculation:

  x24x=3x24x=12

(Multiply both sides by 4 so that the coefficient of x2 will be 1)

  x24x+(42)2=12+(42)2

(Add square of half the coefficient of c to both sides)

  x24x+(2)2=12+(2)2x24x+4=12+4(x2)2=16

(Simplify)

  x2=16x2=±4

(Perform square root on both sides)

  x=2±4

(Add 2 to each side)

  x=2+4x=6

Or

  x=24x=2

Therefore, the solution set is {6,2}
