Options

A. `(1 pm sqrt(5))/(2)`
B. `(1 pm sqrt(3))/(2)`
C. `(-1 pm sqrt(5))/(2)`
D. `(-1 pm sqrt(3))/(2)`

Answer

To solve the equation \(\frac{x^2}{(x+1)^2} + x^2 = 3\), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Rewrite the equation
We start with the equation:
\[ \frac{x^2}{(x+1)^2} + x^2 = 3 \]
We can rewrite this as:
\[ \frac{x^2}{(x+1)^2} = 3 - x^2 \]

### Step 2: Clear the fraction
Next, we multiply both sides by \((x+1)^2\) to eliminate the denominator:
\[ x^2 = (3 - x^2)(x + 1)^2 \]

### Step 3: Expand the right-hand side
Now, we expand the right-hand side:
\[ x^2 = (3 - x^2)(x^2 + 2x + 1) \]
Distributing gives:
\[ x^2 = 3x^2 + 6x + 3 - x^4 - 2x^3 - x^2 \]
Combining like terms results in:
\[ x^2 = -x^4 - 2x^3 + 2x^2 + 6x + 3 \]

### Step 4: Rearrange the equation
Rearranging gives us:
\[ x^4 + 2x^3 - x^2 - 6x - 3 = 0 \]

### Step 5: Solve for roots using the quadratic formula
Now we will use the quadratic formula to find the roots. We can use the Rational Root Theorem or synthetic division to check for possible rational roots, or we can directly apply the quadratic formula.

For simplicity, we will first check for rational roots. By testing values, we find that \(x = 1\) is a root. We can then factor the polynomial:
\[ (x - 1)(x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x + 3) = 0 \]

### Step 6: Find other roots
Now we need to solve the cubic equation \(x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x + 3 = 0\). We can use synthetic division or the cubic formula, but for simplicity, we can also check for rational roots again. Testing \(x = -1\) gives:
\[ (-1)^3 + 3(-1)^2 + 2(-1) + 3 = -1 + 3 - 2 + 3 = 3 \neq 0 \]
Continuing this process, we find that \(x = -3\) is another root.

### Step 7: Factor further
We can factor out \((x + 3)\) from the cubic polynomial:
\[ (x + 3)(x^2 + 2) = 0 \]

### Step 8: Solve for roots
Setting each factor to zero gives us:
1. \(x + 3 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -3\)
2. \(x^2 + 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 = -2 \Rightarrow x = \pm i\sqrt{2}\) (not real roots)

### Final Answer
The only real root of the equation \(\frac{x^2}{(x+1)^2} + x^2 = 3\) is:
\[ \boxed{-3} \]
