@sourav_aich

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

Cross multiply then collect the like terms first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

square both sides

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

cancel the similar term in square root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[9+4\lambda+12\lambda ^{2}= (3+2\lambda)^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help fully ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do this for both the sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what to do ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you show it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tkhunny

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \frac{ 9+2\lambda }{(3+2\lambda )^{2/3} }= \frac{ 11+14\lambda }{(3+2\lambda )^{5/3} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then cross multiply and keep the 3+2lambda term on one side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you will get a quadratic equation in lambda , solve it to get the value of lambda

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sourav_aich what next ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the final reduced equation will be\[2\lambda ^{2} + 5\lambda + 8 = 0\] solve it..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not gettt]ing right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please show u got that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please proceed just as i mentioned above you will get that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ive done that,,, not getting it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please redo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would u help ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino could you help ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have to compute the least common multiple between denominators. Now such least common multiple is: \[\Large 15\sqrt {9 + 4\lambda + 12{\lambda ^2}} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so your equation is equivalent to this subsequent equation: \[\Large 5\left( {9 + 2\lambda } \right) = 3\left( {11 + 14\lambda } \right)\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

furthermore, we note that the subsequent quantity \[\Large 9 + 4\lambda + 12{\lambda ^2}\] is always positive, namely its value is always greater than zero, for any value of \lambda

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, we have to simplify this expression: \[\Large 5\left( {9 + 2\lambda } \right) = 3\left( {11 + 14\lambda } \right)\] what do you get?
