Question
Solve the following equation : `"x"^2 - 4 sqrt 2 "x" + 6 = 0 `
Solution
`"x"^2 - 4 sqrt 2 "x" + 6 = 0 `
`"x"^2 - sqrt 2 "x" - 3 sqrt 2 "x" + 6 = 0 `
`"x"("x" - sqrt 2) - 3 sqrt 2 ("x" - sqrt 2) = 0`
`("x" - sqrt 2)("x" - 3 sqrt 2) = 0`
`("x" - sqrt 2) = 0 , ("x" - 3 sqrt 2) = 0`
x = `sqrt 2` , x = `3 sqrt 2`
