Solution

(x+1)2=2(x−1)2

Solution

x=3−22​,x=3+22​
+1
Decimal Notation
x=0.17157…,x=5.82842…
Solution steps
(x+1)2=2(x−1)2
Expand (x+1)2:x2+2x+1
Expand 2(x−1)2:2x2−4x+2
x2+2x+1=2x2−4x+2
Move 2to the left side
x2+2x−1=2x2−4x
Move 4xto the left side
x2+6x−1=2x2
Move 2x2to the left side
−x2+6x−1=0
Solve with the quadratic formula
x1,2​=2(−1)−6±62−4(−1)(−1)​​
62−4(−1)(−1)​=42​
x1,2​=2(−1)−6±42​​
Separate the solutionsx1​=2(−1)−6+42​​,x2​=2(−1)−6−42​​
x=2(−1)−6+42​​:3−22​
x=2(−1)−6−42​​:3+22​
The solutions to the quadratic equation are:x=3−22​,x=3+22​
