The correct Answer is:
To find the roots of the equation \( \sqrt{3}x^2 - 2x - \sqrt{3} = 0 \), we can use the method of factoring or the quadratic formula. Here, we will use factoring. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the coefficients**: The given equation is in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \), where: - \( a = \sqrt{3} \) - \( b = -2 \) - \( c = -\sqrt{3} \) 2. **Multiply \( a \) and \( c \)**: Calculate \( ac \): \[ ac = \sqrt{3} \cdot (-\sqrt{3}) = -3 \] 3. **Find two numbers that multiply to \( ac \) and add to \( b \)**: We need two numbers that multiply to \(-3\) (the value of \( ac \)) and add up to \(-2\) (the value of \( b \)). The numbers are: \[ 1 \quad \text{and} \quad -3 \] Because: \[ 1 \cdot (-3) = -3 \quad \text{and} \quad 1 + (-3) = -2 \] 4. **Rewrite the middle term**: Rewrite the equation by splitting the middle term using the numbers found: \[ \sqrt{3}x^2 + x - 3x - \sqrt{3} = 0 \] 5. **Group the terms**: Group the terms: \[ (\sqrt{3}x^2 + x) + (-3x - \sqrt{3}) = 0 \] 6. **Factor by grouping**: Factor out common terms from each group: \[ x(\sqrt{3}x + 1) - \sqrt{3}(3x + 1) = 0 \] 7. **Combine the factors**: Combine the factors: \[ (\sqrt{3}x + 1)(x - \sqrt{3}) = 0 \] 8. **Set each factor to zero**: Set each factor to zero to find the roots: \[ \sqrt{3}x + 1 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x - \sqrt{3} = 0 \] 9. **Solve for \( x \)**: For the first equation: \[ \sqrt{3}x + 1 = 0 \implies \sqrt{3}x = -1 \implies x = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] For the second equation: \[ x - \sqrt{3} = 0 \implies x = \sqrt{3} \] 10. **Final roots**: The roots of the equation are: \[ x = \sqrt{3} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Summary of Roots: The roots of the equation \( \sqrt{3}x^2 - 2x - \sqrt{3} = 0 \) are: - \( x = \sqrt{3} \) - \( x = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \)
