Question 1:

Consider the equation
(3x-1)^2 = 5

Taking square root on both the sides of the equation, we get


(3x-1) = \pm √(5)

Consider
3x-1 = \sqrt 5

adding '1' to both sides, we get


3x = \sqrt 5 + 1

Dividing by '3', we get


x = (\sqrt5 + 1)/(3)

Consider
3x-1 = - \sqrt 5

adding '1' to both sides, we get


3x = - \sqrt 5 + 1

Dividing by '3', we get


x = (- \sqrt5 + 1)/(3)

So, the solution set for this equation is
x = (\sqrt5 + 1)/(3) and
x = (- \sqrt5 + 1)/(3).

Question 2:

Consider the equation
x^2+5x+1 = 0

We will use quadratic formula, we get


x = (-5\pm √(5^2-4))/(2)


x = (-5\pm √(21))/(2)

So, the solution set for this equation is
x = (-5+ √(21))/(2), x = (-5- √(21))/(2).

Question 3:

Consider the equation
x^2+5x+3=0

By using the quadratic formula, we get


x = (-5\pm √(5^2-12))/(2)


x = (-5\pm √(13))/(2)

so, the solution set for this equation is
x = (-5+ √(13))/(2), x = (-5- √(13))/(2).
