To solve the equation \( x + 1 = \sqrt{11 + 15x + 3x^2 - x^3} \), start by squaring both sides to eliminate the square root: \[ (x + 1)^2 = 11 + 15x + 3x^2 - x^3. \] This simplifies to: \[ x^2 + 2x + 1 = 11 + 15x + 3x^2 - x^3. \] Now, rearranging the equation gives: \[ x^3 - 2x^2 - 13x + 10 = 0. \] Next, we can try to factor this cubic equation or use the Rational Root Theorem to identify potential rational roots. After testing different values, you'll find that \( x = 2 \) is a solution. Thus, we can factor \( (x - 2) \) from \( x^3 - 2x^2 - 13x + 10 \) using synthetic division or polynomial long division, leading to: \[ x^3 - 2x^2 - 13x + 10 = (x-2)(x^2 + ax + b). \] Continue with synthetic division to find the coefficients, leading to a final factorization. Solving the quadratic \( x^2 + ax + b = 0 \) will give you the remaining roots. In essence, you render the equation solvable through \( x = 2 \) and others derived from the quadratic. Finally, don’t forget to plug the solutions back in to check for extraneous roots from the squaring step. Happy solving!
