Problem
Find all real roots of the equation
![$\sqrt{x^2-p}+2\sqrt{x^2-1}=x$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/c/5/4c50288029a0bd6789e2dcec7a9350ad9a6c605f.png)
where is a real parameter.
Solution
Assuming , square the equation, obtaining
.
If we have
, we can square again, obtaining
We must have , so we have
However, this is only a solution when
so we have and
and
