Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) no solution

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider \(\sqrt{3 x^{2}+x+5}=x-3\) Squaring both the sides, we get \(3 x^{2}+x+5=(x-3)^{2}\) \(\Rightarrow 3 x^{2}+x+5=x^{2}+9-6 x\) \(\Rightarrow 2 x^{2}+7 x-4=0\) \(\Rightarrow 2 x^{2}+8 x-x-4=0\) \(\Rightarrow 2 x(x+4)-1(x+4)=0\) \(\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}\) or \(x=-4\) For…
