Step-by-Step Verified Solution

amp;x2+∣2x−3∣−4=0amp; Case I:x≥32amp;x2+2x−3−4=0x2+2x−7=0x=22−1\begin{aligned}& \mathrm{x}^2+|2 \mathrm{x}-3|-4=0 \\& \text { Case } \mathrm{I}: \mathrm{x} \geq \frac{3}{2} \\& \qquad \begin{array}{l}\mathrm{x}^2+2 \mathrm{x}-3-4=0 \\\mathrm{x}^2+2 \mathrm{x}-7=0 \\\mathrm{x}=2 \sqrt{2}-1\end{array}\end{aligned}

amp; Case II:xlt;32amp;amp;x2+3−2x−4=0amp;x2−2x−1=0amp;x=1−2\begin{aligned}& \text { Case } \mathrm{II}: x<\frac{3}{2} \\& \begin{aligned}& x^2+3-2 x-4=0 \\& x^2-2 x-1=0 \\& x=1-\sqrt{2}\end{aligned}\end{aligned}

 Sum of squares amp;=(22−1)2+(1−2)2amp;=8−42+1+1−22+2amp;=6(2−2)∴(3)\begin{aligned}\text { Sum of squares } & =(2 \sqrt{2}-1)^2+(1-\sqrt{2})^2 \\& =8-4 \sqrt{2}+1+1-2 \sqrt{2}+2 \\& =6(2-\sqrt{2}) \quad \therefore(3)\end{aligned}
