Question:
Make the given changes in the indicated examples of this section and then solve the resulting equations.
In Example 3, change the 2 to 6 and then solve the equation.
Data from Example 3
Solve the equation x − √x − 2 = 0.
By letting y = √x, we have
Since √x cannot be negative, the only solution is x = 4. This solution checks when substituted in the original equation. The graph of y1 = x −√x √−2 is shown in the calculator display in Fig. 14.16. Note that x = 4 is the only solution shown.
