Solution :-
(x² + 3x)² - (x² + 3x) - 6 = 0
Substituting x² + 3x = y in the above equation
⇒ y² - y - 6 = 0
Splitting the middle term
⇒ y² - 3y + 2y - 6 = 0
⇒ y(y - 3) + 2(y - 3) = 0
⇒ (y + 2)(y - 3) = 0
⇒ y + 2 = 0 or y - 3 = 0
Again, substituting y = x² + 3x in the above equations
⇒ x² + 3x + 2 = 0 or x² + 3x - 2 = 0
1. Solving x² + 3x + 2 = 0
⇒ x² + 3x + 2 = 0
⇒ x² + 2x + x + 2 = 0
⇒ x(x + 2) + 1(x + 2) = 0
⇒ (x + 1)(x + 2) = 0
⇒ x + 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
⇒ x = - 1 or x = - 2
2. Solving x² + 3x - 3 = 0
Using Quadratic formula
⇒ x = (-b ± √D)/2a
D = b² - 4ac = 3² - 4(1)( - 3 ) = 9 + 12 = 21
⇒ x = ( - 3 ± √21)/2
⇒ x = ( - 3 + √21)/2 or x = ( - 3 - √21)/2
Therefore the roots of the given equations are - 1, - 2, (-3 + √21)/2 and (-3 - √21)/2.
