Examples with solutions for Square of sum: Equations with Variables on One Side

Exercise #1

Look at the following equation:

xx+1x+1=1 \frac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{x+1}}{x+1}=1

This can also be written as:

x[A(x+B)x3]=0 x[A(x+B)-x^3]=0

Calculate A and B.

Video Solution

Answer

B=1 , A=4

Exercise #2

Solve the following equation:

1(x+1)2+1x+1=1 \frac{1}{(x+1)^2}+\frac{1}{x+1}=1

Video Solution

Answer

12[1±5] -\frac{1}{2}[1\pm\sqrt{5}\rbrack

Exercise #3

Look at the following equation:

x+x+1x+1=1 \frac{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}}{x+1}=1

The same equation can be presented as follows:

x[A(x+B)x3]=0 x[A(x+B)-x^3]=0

Calculate A and B.

Video Solution

Answer

B=1 , A=4
