Math Problem Statement

Solve the equation 4 x ^2 - 9 + 3 = 0

Solution

Let's solve the equation step by step:

Given equation: 4x29+3=04x^2 - 9 + 3 = 0

Step 1: Simplify the equation

Combine like terms: 4x26=04x^2 - 6 = 0

Step 2: Isolate x2x^2

Add 6 to both sides: 4x2=64x^2 = 6

Step 3: Solve for x2x^2

Divide both sides by 4: x2=64=32x^2 = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}

Step 4: Solve for xx

Take the square root of both sides: x=±32=±62x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}

Final Answer:

x=±62x = \pm \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}
