Detailed Solution

x22x3+4x=0 |x+1(x3|+4x=0
 casei x22x3>0  For x,1][3, x22x3+4x=0x2+2x3=0(x+3)(x1)=0x=3 and x=1 However x=1 does not fall in the above range.  Hence x=3 is a possible real root. caseiix22x3<0  For x1,3x2+2x+3+4x=0x2+6x+3=0x26x3=0(x3)212=0(x3)2=12(x3)=±23x=3±23  are irrational roots.  Hence there exists only one rational root that is x=3
