Assessment: JAMB UTME - Mathematics - 1988 Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

Find \(m\) such that \((m + \sqrt{3})(1 - \sqrt{3})^2 = 6 - 2\sqrt{2}\)

Answer Details
(m +  3 )(1 -  3 )2 = 6 - 2 2
(m +  3 )(4 - 2 3 ) = 6 - 2 2
= 6 - 2 3
4m - 6 + 4 - 2m 3  = 6 - 2 3
comparing co-efficients,
4m - 6 = 6.......(i)
4 - 2m = -2.......(ii)
in both equations, m = 3
