The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \[ \frac{2b^2 + x^2}{b^3 - x^3} - \frac{2x}{bx + b^2 + x^2} + \frac{1}{x - b} = 0 \] and find the value of \( x \) for which the solution is unique, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Equation We start with the given equation: \[ \frac{2b^2 + x^2}{b^3 - x^3} - \frac{2x}{bx + b^2 + x^2} + \frac{1}{x - b} = 0 \] ### Step 2: Factor the Denominator Using the identity for the difference of cubes, \( b^3 - x^3 = (b - x)(b^2 + bx + x^2) \), we can rewrite the first term: \[ b^3 - x^3 = (b - x)(b^2 + bx + x^2) \] ### Step 3: Find a Common Denominator The common denominator for the fractions will be: \[ (b - x)(b^2 + bx + x^2)(x - b) \] ### Step 4: Rewrite Each Term Now, we can rewrite each term with the common denominator: 1. The first term becomes: \[ (2b^2 + x^2)(x - b) \] 2. The second term becomes: \[ -2x(b - x)(b^2 + bx + x^2) \] 3. The third term becomes: \[ (b^3 - x^3)(1) \] ### Step 5: Combine the Terms Putting everything together, we have: \[ (2b^2 + x^2)(x - b) - 2x(b - x)(b^2 + bx + x^2) + (b^3 - x^3) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Expand and Simplify Now we will expand and simplify the equation. This will lead us to a quadratic equation in terms of \( x \). ### Step 7: Form a Quadratic Equation After simplification, we arrive at a quadratic equation: \[ 2x^2 - 3bx + b^2 = 0 \] ### Step 8: Determine Unique Solution For a quadratic equation \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \) to have a unique solution, the discriminant must be zero: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac \] In our case: \[ D = (-3b)^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot b^2 = 9b^2 - 8b^2 = b^2 \] Setting the discriminant to zero for uniqueness: \[ b^2 = 0 \implies b = 0 \] However, since we are looking for the value of \( x \) such that the solution is unique, we must ensure \( b \neq 0 \). ### Step 9: Solve for \( x \) The solutions to the quadratic equation are given by: \[ x = \frac{3b \pm \sqrt{b^2}}{2 \cdot 2} = \frac{3b \pm b}{4} \] This gives two solutions: 1. \( x = b \) 2. \( x = \frac{b}{2} \) Since \( x = b \) is not valid (as it makes the original equation undefined), the unique solution is: \[ x = \frac{b}{2} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of \( x \) for which the solution of the equation is unique is: \[ \boxed{\frac{b}{2}} \]
