Explanation:

so, we have

2x² - 3×sqrt(3x) - 15 = 0

2x² - 15 = 3×sqrt(3x)

now, let's square both sides

(2x² - 15)² = 9×3x = 27x

4x⁴ - 60x² + 225 = 27x

4x⁴ - 60x² - 27x + 225 = 0

that leads to enormous terms and expressions.

now, could it be that the actual problem is

2x² - 3×sqrt(3)×x - 15

hmmm ?

to be considered : with the square root of the variable in the expression this is officially not a polygon ...

because then we could solve for a quadratic equation.

a quadratic equation

ax²c+ bx + c = 0

has the general solutions

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 2

b = -3×sqrt(3)

c = -15

x = (3×sqrt(3) ± sqrt(9×3 - 4×2×-15))/(2×2) =

= (3×sqrt(3) ± sqrt(27 + 120))/4 =

= (3×sqrt(3) ± sqrt(147))/4 =

= (3×sqrt(3) ± sqrt(49×3))/4 =

= (3×sqrt(3) ± 7×sqrt(3))/4

x1 = (3×sqrt(3) + 7×sqrt(3))/4 = 10×sqrt(3)/4 =

= 5/2 × sqrt(3)

x2 = (3×sqrt(3) - 7×sqrt(3))/4 = -4×sqrt(3)/4 =

= - sqrt(3)

about the relationship between zeros and coefficients of the polynomial :

the sum of both zeros = -b/a = 3×sqrt(3)/2

5/2 × sqrt(3) + - sqrt(3) = 5/2 × sqrt(3) - sqrt(3) =

= 3/2 × sqrt(3)

correct.

the product of both zeros = c/a = -15/2

5/2 × sqrt(3) × - sqrt(3) = 5/2 × -3 = -15/2

correct.
