Question

Cornell solved the radical equation sqrt x^2+3x+2=sqrt x^2-3 1 and found x=-2. What is the other solution of this radical equation? Enter your answer as a fraction.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Square both sides: x^2+3x+2 = x^2-3x+1, so 6x = -1 and x = -1/6. Checking shows both radicands are 55/36, so the other solution is -1/6.
