+ 3x + 1 = 1 is true if
Let 3t = a (i) the exponent = 0 and base is not zero
(a – 9)3 + (a2 – 3)3 = (a2 + a – 12)3 (ii) the base = 1, or
 (a – 9)3 + (a2 – 3)3 = [(a2 – 3) + (a – 9)]3 (iii) the base = –1 and the exponent is even
 3(a2 – 3) (a – 9) [(a2 – 3) + (a – 9)] = 0 (i) x2 + 2x – 8 = 0
 (a2 – 3) (a – 9) (a2 + a – 12) = 0  (x + 4) (x – 2) = 0
 x = –4, 2
This gives a = 3, 3 , – 3, – 3 , – 4, 9
(ii) x2 + 3x + 1 = 1
The acceptable values of a are a = 3, 3,9  x2 + 3x = 0
 3 = 3, 3 = 3 , 3 = 3
t t 1/2 t 2  x(x + 3) = 0
Hence, t = 1, 1/2, 2.  x = –3, 0
(iii) x2 + 3x + 1 = –1
3. (D)  x2 + 3x + 2 = 0
 (x + 1) (x + 2) = 0
2x = 22y = 23z  x = 2y = 3z = 
 x = –2, –1.
 
x = , y = , z= Now, check the exponent. If x = –2
2 3
 x2 + 2x – 8 is even; if x = –1
1 1 1 1 1 3  x2 + 2x – 8 is odd; therefore case (iii)
 + + = + + =4
2x 4y 4z 2 2 4 produces the solution –2 only.

16 = –4 + 2 + (–3) + 0 + (–2) = –7
