Using u substitution Find the real solutions of the equation
Using u substitution Find the real solution(s) of the equation x - 3x^1/2 + 2 = 0
Solution
x - 3x1/2+2=0
Let x1/2=u
Therefore x=u2
u2-3u+2=0
(u-1)(u-2)=0
u=1 , 2
Substituting back the value of u
x1/2=1 or x1/2=2
squaring both sides
x=1 , 4
