(x−3) (√(x^2 −x−2))  =  0  Find:   x = ?
$$\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{3}\right)\:\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{2}}\:\:=\:\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Find}:\:\:\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}\:=\:? \\ $$

x=3 or 2 or −1
$${x}=\mathrm{3}\:{or}\:\mathrm{2}\:{or}\:−\mathrm{1} \\ $$

pq=0 ⇒ p=0∨q=0  (√r)=0 ⇔ r=0  p=x−3=0  q=(√(x^2 −x−2))=0; r=x^2 −x−2=0  Both are easy to solve.
$${pq}=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\:{p}=\mathrm{0}\vee{q}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\sqrt{{r}}=\mathrm{0}\:\Leftrightarrow\:{r}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${p}={x}−\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${q}=\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}−\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{0};\:{r}={x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}−\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Both}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{easy}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{solve}. \\ $$
