- [ 6 ] For any positive real numbers a and b , define a ◦ b = a + b + 2 ab . Find all positive real numbers 2 x such that x ◦ 9 x = 121. √ 31 − 3 53 Answer: 2 √ √ √ 2 2 2 Since a ◦ b = ( a + b ) , we have x ◦ 9 x = ( x + 3 x ) . Moreover, since x is positive, we have √ √ √ √ − 3+ 53 31 − 3 53 x + 3 x = 11, and the only possible solution is that x = , so x = . 2 2
