Solution
Substituting x = 3 in the given eqution
L.H.S. = `sqrt((3)^2 - 4 xx 3 + 3) + sqrt((3)^2 - 9)`
= `sqrt(9 - 12 + 3) + sqrt(9 - 9)`
= 0 + 0
= 0
R.H.S. = `sqrt(4(3)^2 - 14 xx 3 + 16)`
= `sqrt(36 - 42 + 16)`
= `sqrt(52 - 42)`
= `sqrt(10)`
Since, L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Therefore, x = 3 is not a root of the given equation.
