The correct Answer is:
To find the square root of the expression \( 2x - 1 + 2\sqrt{x^2 - x - 6} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify the expression under the square root We start with the expression: \[ 2x - 1 + 2\sqrt{x^2 - x - 6} \] First, we need to simplify \( \sqrt{x^2 - x - 6} \). ### Step 2: Factor the quadratic expression The quadratic \( x^2 - x - 6 \) can be factored. We look for two numbers that multiply to \(-6\) and add to \(-1\). These numbers are \(-3\) and \(2\): \[ x^2 - x - 6 = (x - 3)(x + 2) \] Thus, \[ \sqrt{x^2 - x - 6} = \sqrt{(x - 3)(x + 2)} \] ### Step 3: Substitute back into the expression Now we substitute this back into our original expression: \[ 2x - 1 + 2\sqrt{(x - 3)(x + 2)} \] ### Step 4: Rewrite the expression We can rewrite the expression as: \[ \sqrt{2x - 1 + 2\sqrt{(x - 3)(x + 2)}} \] ### Step 5: Recognize the form of a perfect square We can express \( 2x - 1 + 2\sqrt{(x - 3)(x + 2)} \) in the form of a perfect square: \[ \sqrt{( \sqrt{x - 3} + \sqrt{x + 2} )^2} \] This gives us: \[ \sqrt{( \sqrt{x - 3} + \sqrt{x + 2} )^2} = \sqrt{x - 3} + \sqrt{x + 2} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the square root of the expression \( 2x - 1 + 2\sqrt{x^2 - x - 6} \) is: \[ \sqrt{x - 3} + \sqrt{x + 2} \]
