Step 1
To find:
The solution of the equation:
Given:
The equation is 1x1x4=1.
Formula used:
a22ab+b2=(ab)2
Step 2
Calculation:
Solve the equation 1x1x4=1 as follows:
1x1x4=1
x4xx(x4)=1
4=x24x
0=x24x+4
Further solve the equation as follows:
x22x2+22=0
(x2)2=0
(x-2)(x-2)=0
Further solve the equation,
x-2=0 or x-2=0
x=2 or x=2
Therefore, the values of x is 2.
Step 3
Therefore, Option (a) given as x=2 is correct answer.
