Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we will simplify both sides of the given equation:

Given equation:

AX+BX2=(2X+3)2XC \frac{A}{X} + \frac{BX}{2} = \frac{(2X+3)^2}{X} - C .

First, expand the quadratic expression:

(2X+3)2=(2X+3)(2X+3)=4X2+6X+6X+9=4X2+12X+9 (2X+3)^2 = (2X+3)(2X+3) = 4X^2 + 6X + 6X + 9 = 4X^2 + 12X + 9 .

Substitute this back into the equation:

AX+BX2=4X2+12X+9XC \frac{A}{X} + \frac{BX}{2} = \frac{4X^2 + 12X + 9}{X} - C .

Simplify the right-hand side:

4X2+12X+9X=4X+12XX+9X=4X+12+9X \frac{4X^2 + 12X + 9}{X} = 4X + \frac{12X}{X} + \frac{9}{X} = 4X + 12 + \frac{9}{X} .

The equation now becomes:

AX+BX2=4X+12+9XC \frac{A}{X} + \frac{BX}{2} = 4X + 12 + \frac{9}{X} - C .

For the equation to hold true for all values of X X , equate corresponding terms:

  • AX=9XA=9 \frac{A}{X} = \frac{9}{X} \Rightarrow A = 9 .
  • BX2=4XB=8 \frac{BX}{2} = 4X \Rightarrow B = 8 .
  • For constant terms: 12C=0C=12 12 - C = 0 \Rightarrow C = 12 .

Therefore, the values are A=9 A = 9 , B=8 B = 8 , and C=12 C = 12 .

The correct answer is: A=9,B=8,C=12 A = 9, B = 8, C = 12 .

Final Answer

A=9,B=8,C=12 A=9,B=8,C=12
