Hey there!
I have a few doubts regarding this worked out example in my book,
It goes like this…
Solve 2a ^ (3/2) +(a^2-x^2) ^ (1/2) {(a+x) ^ (1/2) +(a-x) ^ (1/2) }= a^ (2/3) +a{(a+x) ^(1/2)+(a-x) ^1/2}+(a^2-x^2) ^ (1/2)
Well now they say
Hence, removing from a^ ( 3/2) both sides and transposing, we get
a^ (1/2) {a-(a^2-x^2) ^ (1/2) }= {(a+x) ^ (1/2) + (a-x ) ^ (1/2) }x { a-(a^ 2 -x^2) ^ (1/2) }
whence a^ (1/2) = ( a+x) ^ (1/2) +(a-x) ^ (1/2) ;
squaring both sides a= 2a =2( a^2-x^2) ^ (1/2)
anyway it concludes as x= ± ( a√ 3)/2
But the problem is that I can’t understand how could 2a^2/3 suddenly disappear!
Plz help me!
