Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(1). x² - 6x + 3 = 0
x² - 2*3*x + 3² - 3² + 3 = 0
(x² - 6x + 9) - 6 = 0
(x - 3)² - (√6)² = 0
(x - 3 - √6)(x - 3 + √6) = 0
= 3 + √6
= 3 - √6
(2). x² - 4x + 1 = 0
x² - 2*2*x + 4 - 4 - 1 = 0
(x - 2)² - (√5)² = 0
(x -2 - √5)(x - 2 + √5) = 0
= 2 + √5
= 2 - √5
(3). x² + 8x - 2 = 0
(x² + 2*4*x + 16) - 16 - 2 = 0
(x + 4)² - (√18)² = 0
(x + 4 + 3√2)(x + 4 - 3√2) = 0
= - 4 - 3√2
= - 4 + 3√2
