We'll note y^2 + 3 = t
We'll
re-write the equation in t:
t + 12/t =
7
We'll multiply by t both sides, after that, bringing all
terms to one side:
t^2 + 12 - 7t =
0
We'll re-arrange the
terms:
t^2 - 7t + 12 = 0
We'll
apply quadratic formula:
t1 = [7 + sqrt(49 -
48)]/2
t1 = (7+1)/2
t1 =
4
t2 = (7-1)/2
t2 =
3
But y^2 + 3 = t
For t =
4=> y^2 + 3 = 4
y^2 = 4 -
3
y^2 = 1
y1 = 1 and y2 =
-1
For t = 3 => y^2 + 3 =
3
y^2 = 0
y3 = y4 =
0
The real roots of the equation are: {-1 ; 0
; 1}.
