Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ \ a = 1 \ \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

saying that [tex]x-\sqrt{a}[/tex] is a factor means that [tex]\sqrt{a}[/tex] is a zero which means

[tex]2(\sqrt{a})^4-2a^2(\sqrt{a})^2-3*\sqrt{a}+2a^3-2a^2+3=0\\\\<=> 2a^2-2a^3-3*\sqrt{a}+2a^3-2a^2+3=0\\\\<=>3-3*\sqrt{a}=0\\\\<=>\sqrt{a}=\dfrac{3}{3}=1\\\\<=> a = 1[/tex]

so the solution is a = 1
