Answer:
x1 = 6 + 2√6 or x2 = 6 - 2√6
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 12x + 12 = 0
We need to use formula:
a² - 2ab + b² = (a - b)².
x² - 12x = - 12
x² - 2*6x + 6²- 6² = - 12
(x - 6)² - 36 = -12
(x - 6)² = - 12 + 36
(x -6)² = 24
(x - 6) = √24 or (x-6) = -√24
(x - 6) = 2√6 or (x-6) = - 2√6
x = 6 + 2√6 or x = 6 - 2√6
