Which quadratic equation equation is equivalent to (x^2-1)^2 -11(^2-1) +24=0

x = ± 3 and ± 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is

To make this question easier we will consume ( x² -1 ) = a

a² - 11a + 24 = 0

Now we can factorize this equation easily

a²- 8a - 3a + 24 = 0

a (a-8) - 3 ( a-8) = 0

( a-3 ) ( a-8 ) = 0

Therefore, a - 3 = 0 ⇒ a = 3

or               a - 8 = 0 ⇒ a = 8

Now we put the value a

when a = 3    (x² - 1) = 3

                     x² = 3 + 1 = 4

                    x = √4

                       = ± 2

when a = 8   (x² - 1) = 8

                     x² = 9

                     x = √9

                        = ± 3

Therefore, x = ± 3 and ± 2 will be the answer.
