algebra precalculus - Show that frac37sqrt13573=frac437+sqrt1357.


Solving the cubic equation:


3x374x2+4x=0


I found the following roots:


x=0,3713573,37+13573


On the Wolfram Alpha website one of the roots is shown differently.


Instead of the root:


x=3713573


The site shows:



x=437+1357


I rapidly established that:


3713573=437+13570.054


But I can't see what mathematical steps would turn 3713573 into 437+1357 or indeed visa-versa. Can someone explain what steps would make this transformation please?


Also...


It seems to me that if an equation has 2 roots which differ only in whether they have a plus or minus sign as a result of taking the square root of both sides of a quadratic equation, then it's best to express the 2 roots in the same way with only the plus-or-minus sign differing (it's clearer that way right?). What are the reasons for expressing one of them differently as Wolfram Alpha has done in this case?


Thanks.


Answer



3713573=(371357)(37+1357)3(37+1357)=37213573(37+1357) =123(37+1357)=4(37+1357)
