The correct Answer is:
To find the square root of the expression \( a + x + \sqrt{2ax + x^2} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the expression We start with the expression: \[ n = \sqrt{a + x + \sqrt{2ax + x^2}} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the square root Notice that \( \sqrt{2ax + x^2} \) can be rewritten: \[ \sqrt{2ax + x^2} = \sqrt{x^2 + 2ax} = \sqrt{x(x + 2a)} \] So we can rewrite \( n \) as: \[ n = \sqrt{a + x + \sqrt{x(x + 2a)}} \] ### Step 3: Combine terms Now, we can express \( n \) in a more manageable form: \[ n = \sqrt{a + x + \sqrt{x(x + 2a)}} \] ### Step 4: Assume a form for \( n \) Let’s assume that \( n \) can be expressed in the form: \[ n = \sqrt{p} + \sqrt{q} \] for some \( p \) and \( q \). ### Step 5: Square both sides Squaring both sides gives: \[ n^2 = p + q + 2\sqrt{pq} \] We want this to equal \( a + x + \sqrt{2ax + x^2} \). ### Step 6: Identify \( p \) and \( q \) By comparing terms, we can set: \[ p + q = a + x \] and \[ 2\sqrt{pq} = \sqrt{2ax + x^2} \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( p \) and \( q \) From the second equation, squaring gives: \[ 4pq = 2ax + x^2 \] Thus: \[ pq = \frac{1}{4}(2ax + x^2) \] ### Step 8: Solve the system of equations Now we have a system: 1. \( p + q = a + x \) 2. \( pq = \frac{1}{4}(2ax + x^2) \) Let \( p \) and \( q \) be the roots of the quadratic: \[ t^2 - (a+x)t + \frac{1}{4}(2ax + x^2) = 0 \] ### Step 9: Calculate the discriminant The discriminant \( D \) of this quadratic is: \[ D = (a+x)^2 - 4 \cdot \frac{1}{4}(2ax + x^2) = (a+x)^2 - (2ax + x^2) \] Simplifying gives: \[ D = a^2 + 2ax + x^2 - 2ax - x^2 = a^2 \] ### Step 10: Find \( p \) and \( q \) Since \( D = a^2 \), the roots are: \[ p, q = \frac{(a+x) \pm a}{2} \] This gives: \[ p = x \quad \text{and} \quad q = a \] or vice versa. ### Final Step: Write the final answer Thus, we have: \[ n = \sqrt{x} + \sqrt{a} \] ### Conclusion The square root of \( a + x + \sqrt{2ax + x^2} \) is: \[ \sqrt{a} + \sqrt{x} \] ---
