Let's solve each equation one by one.
1) √x - 1 = x - 2First, let's isolate the square root term on one side:√x = x - 1 + 2√x = x + 1
Now we square both sides:x = (x + 1)^2x = x^2 + 2x + 1
Rearranging the terms, we get a quadratic equation:x^2 - x - 1 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:x = [1 ± √(1 + 4)] / 2x = [1 ± √5] / 2
So the solutions for this equation are x = (1 + √5) / 2 or x = (1 - √5) / 2.
2) √x + 2 = xLet's isolate the square root term:√x = x - 2Square both sides:x = (x - 2)^2x = x^2 - 4x + 4
Rearranging the terms gives:x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:x = [5 ± √(25 - 16)] / 2x = [5 ± 3] / 2x = 4 or x = 1
So the solutions for this equation are x = 4 or x = 1.
3) √2x - 4 = -3Let's isolate the square root term:√2x = -3 + 4√2x = 1
Squaring both sides gives:2x = 1x = 1/2
So the solution for this equation is x = 1/2.
In summary:x = (1 + √5) / 2 or x = (1 - √5) / 2 or x = 4 or x = 1 or x = 1/2.
