find value 0f x
x^2+x-(a+2)(a+1)=0
Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- Answer is x=a+1;
x^2+x=(a+2)(a+1)
x(x+1)=(a+2)(a+1)
x=a+1 ; x+1=a+2
Eg:
if a=1,then x=2,
4+2-6=0
0=0;

- x^2+x-(a+2)(a+1)=0
=> x^2+[(a+2)-(a+1)]*x-(a+2)(a+1)=0
=> x^2+(a+2)x-(a+1)x-(a+2)(a+1)=0
=> x[x+(a+2)]-(a+1)[x+(a+2)]=0
=> [x-(a+1)][x+(a+2)]=0
=> [x-(a+1)]=0 and [x+(a+2)]=0
hence x=a+1 and x=-(a+2)
and both the roots satisfy the given equation x^2+x-(a+2)(a+1)=0
so there will be two roots of x namely (a+1) and -(a+2). - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- x^2 + x - (a+2)(a+1) = 0
if we have ax^2 + bx + c = 0
then we can apply x = [-b +(or)- (b^2-4a*c)^1/2]/2a
so x = [-1 +(or)- {(2a+1)(2a+5)}]1/2 /2 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Given x^2+x-(a+2)(a+1)=0
>>>quadratic roots formula
-b(+/-)sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a
>>>-1(+/-) sqrt(1-4(1)(-(a^2+3a+2)))/2
>>>-1(+/-) sqrt(4a^2+12a+9)/2
>>>-1(+/-) sqrt(2a+3)^2/2
>>>-1(+/-) 2a+3/2...by solving
>>>>x=a+1 0r x=-(a+2). - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
