Find all real solutions. square root 2 w + 1 = square root 4 - wSolution
given
-3 + sqrt (2w +1) = sqrt (4 -w)
squaring on both sides
[ -3 + sqrt (2w +1) ]^2 = [sqrt(4-w) ]^2
(-3)^2 + ( sqrt (2w +1))^2 + 2(-3)sqrt (2w +1) = 4-w
9 + 2w+1 -6sqrt(2w+1) = 4-w
-6sqrt(2w+1) = 4 -w -2w -10
-6sqrt(2w+1) = -6-3w
againg squaring on both sides
[-6sqrt(2w+1) ]^2 = (-6-3w)^2
36(2w+1) = 36 +9w^2 +36w
72w +36 = 9w^2 +36w +36
9w^2 -36w =0
9w(w-4) =0
so this will be true
when w = 0 or w-4 =0
but w=0 doesn\'t satisfy the given condition
so w=4 is the answer
