The sum of the solutions of the equation `|sqrtx-2|+sqrtx(sqrtx-4)+2=(x gt0)` is equal toA. 9B. 12C. 4D. 10 |
Answer» Correct Answer - D Key Idea Reduce the given equation into quadratic equation. Given equation is `|sqrtx-2|+sqrtx(sqrtx-4)+2=0 implies|sqrtx-2|+x-4sqrt+4=2` `implies|sqrtx-2|+(sqrtx-2)^(2)=2` `implies(|sqrtx-2|)^(2)+|sqrtx-2|-2=0` Let `|sqrtx-2|=y,` then above equation reduced to `y^(2)+y-2=0impliesy^(2)+2y-y-2=0` `impliesy(y+2)-1(y+2)=0implies(y+2)(y-1)=0` `impliesy=1,-2` `impliesthereforey=1" "[becausey="sqrtx-2|ge0]` `implies|sqrtx-2"=1` `impliessqrtx=pm1` `impliessqrtx=3or 1` `impliesx=9or1` `therefore" Sum of roots"=9+1=10` |
