![reposting this because it′s not yet solved correctly. I criticize that most of you people do not test if your solutions fit the given equations in many cases x^2 +1−(√(x^3 +x))=6x please determine (1) how many real solutions (2) how many complex solutions we can expect (3) solve it (4) test your solutions](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q68835.png)

![x^2 −6x+1=(√(x^3 +x)) Squaring both sides we get x^4 −13x^3 +38x^2 −13x+1=0 and this is the reciprocal equation of 1^(st) type ∴ (x^4 +1)−13x(x^2 +1)+38x^2 =0 Dividing the equation by x^2 we get (x^2 +(1/x^2 ))−13(x+(1/x))+38 =0 (x+(1/x))^2 −13(x+(1/x))+36=0 putting x+(1/x) = y we get y^2 −13y+36 =0 (y−4)(y−9)=0 and i.e x^2 −4x+1= 0 and x^2 −9x +1= 0 Solving we get x = 2± (√3) , ((9±(√(77)))/2) now 2−(√3) and 2+(√3) are reciprocal on the other hand ((9+(√(77)))/2) and ((9−(√(77)))/2) are reciprocal. now 2+(√(3 ))∽ 3.73 and 2−(√3) ∽ 0.268 ((9−(√(77)))/2) ∽ 0.11 and ((9+(√(77)))/2) ∽ 8.89 the equation satisfies only on 0.11 and 8.89 MJS Sir, please share your valuable comments.](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q68843.png)
