First, we'll impose the constraints of existence of square
roots:
x>=0
1 -
x>=0
x=<1
The
range of admissible values for x is [0 ; 1].
We'll solve
the equation, moving sqrt x to the right
side:
sqrt[x+sqrt(1-x)] = 1 -
sqrtx
We'll raise to square both
sides:
x + sqrt(1-x) = 1 - 2sqrtx +
x
We'll eliminate x both
sides:
sqrt(1-x) = 1 -
2sqrtx
We'll raise to square
again:
1 - x = 1 - 4sqrtx +
4x
We'll eliminate 1:
4sqrtx -
4x - x = 0
4sqrtx - 5x =
0
4sqrtx = 5x
We'll raise to
square both sides, to eliminate the square root:
16x =
25x^2
We'll subtract 16
x:
25x^2 - 16x = 0
We'll
factorize by x:
x(25x - 16) =
0
x1 = 0
25x =
16
x2 = 16/25
Since both
values of x are in the range of admissible values, we'll accept them as solutions of the
given equation.
x1 = 0 and x2 =
16/25.
