The solution to the equation is x = 1.62

<h3>How to solve the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

x =\sqrt{x\ -\ \frac{1}{x}}+\sqrt{1-\ \frac{1}{x}}

Next, we split the equations as follows:

y = x

y =\sqrt{x\ -\ \frac{1}{x}}+\sqrt{1-\ \frac{1}{x}}

Next, we graph the equations (see attachment)

From the attached graph, the equations intersect at

(x, y)= (1.62, 1.62)

Remove the y value

x = 1.62

Hence, the solution to the equation is x = 1.62

Rationalize the right side first. Expand and simplify.

x = \sqrt{x - \dfrac1x} + \sqrt{1 - \dfrac1x}

x \left(\sqrt{x - \dfrac1x} - \sqrt{1 - \dfrac1x}\right) = \left(\sqrt{x - \dfrac1x} + \sqrt{1 - \dfrac1x}\right) \left(\sqrt{x - \dfrac1x} - \sqrt{1 - \dfrac1x}\right)

x \left(\sqrt{x - \dfrac1x} - \sqrt{1 - \dfrac1x}\right) = \left(\sqrt{x - \dfrac1x}\right)^2 - \left(\sqrt{1 - \dfrac1x}\right)^2

x \left(\sqrt{x - \dfrac1x} - \sqrt{1 - \dfrac1x}\right) = \left(x - \dfrac1x\right) - \left(1 - \dfrac1x\right)

x \left(\sqrt{x - \dfrac1x} - \sqrt{1 - \dfrac1x}\right) = x - 1

Rearrange terms as

\dfrac{x - 1}x = \sqrt{x - \dfrac1x} - \sqrt{1 - \dfrac1x}

\dfrac{x - 1}x + \sqrt{\dfrac{x - 1}x} = \sqrt{x - \dfrac1x}

Substitute

y = \sqrt{\dfrac{x-1}x} = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac1x} \\\\ \implies y^2 = 1 - \dfrac1x \implies x = \dfrac1{1-y^2}

(noting that y>0) so that

x - \dfrac1x = \dfrac1{1-y^2} - (1-y^2) = \dfrac{2y^2 - y^4}{1-y^2}

and the equation transforms to

y^2 + y = \sqrt{\dfrac{2y^2 - y^4}{1-y^2}}

y + 1 = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 - y^2}{1-y^2}}

Solve for y.

(y+1)^2 = \left(\sqrt{\dfrac{2-y^2}{1-y^2}}\right)^2

y^2 + 2y + 1 = \dfrac{2 - y^2}{1 - y^2}

-y^4 - 2y^3 + 2y + 1 = 2 - y^2

y^4 + 2y^3 - y^2 - 2y + 1 = 0

\left(y^4 + 2y^3 + y^2\right) - 2y^2 - 2y + 1 = 0

(y^2 + y)^2 - 2(y^2 + y) + 1 = 0

\left(y^2 + y - 1\right)^2 = 0

y^2 + y - 1 = 0

y = \dfrac{-1 \pm \sqrt5}2

Since y>0, we take the positive root. Then

y = \sqrt{\dfrac{x-1}x} = \dfrac{-1 + \sqrt5}2

Solve for x.

\left(\sqrt{\dfrac{x-1}x}\right)^2 = \left(\dfrac{-1 + \sqrt5}2\right)^2

\dfrac{x-1}x = \dfrac{6 - 2\sqrt5}4 = \dfrac{3 - \sqrt5}2

x - 1 = \dfrac{3-\sqrt5}2x

\dfrac{-1+\sqrt5}2 x = 1

x = \dfrac2{-1+\sqrt5}

Rationalize to clean up the answer.

x = \dfrac2{-1+\sqrt5}\cdot\dfrac{-1-\sqrt5}{-1-\sqrt5} = \boxed{\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2} \approx 1.6108

i.e. the golden ratio constant.

On a coordinate plane, triangles R S T and L M N are shown. Triangle R S T has points (5, 5), (2, 1), and (1, 3). Triangle L M N
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

LMN has a larger area

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

RST

R =(5,5)

S= (2,1)

T = (1,3)

LMN

L = (0,-1)

M= (2,-4)

N= (-2,-3)

Required

Compare both areas

The area of triangle is:

Area = \frac{1}{2}|x_1y_2 - x_2y_1 + x_2y_3 - x_3y_2 + x_3y_1 - x_1y_3|

For RST, we have:

Area = \frac{1}{2}|5*1 - 2*5 + 2*3 - 1*1 + 1*5 - 5*3|

Area = \frac{1}{2}|-10|

Remove absolute signs

Area = \frac{1}{2}*10

Area = 10

For LMN, we have:

Area = \frac{1}{2}|x_1y_2 - x_2y_1 + x_2y_3 - x_3y_2 + x_3y_1 - x_1y_3|

Area = \frac{1}{2}|0*-4-2*-1+2*-3--2*-4--2*-1-0*-3|

Area = \frac{1}{2}|-14|

Remove absolute signs

Area = \frac{1}{2}*14

Area = 7

<em>By comparing both areas, we can conclude that LMN has a larger area</em>

Solve the system using the substitution method<br> 6x - 2y = -4<br> y= 3x + 2
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 2y = -4

y= 3x + 2

We see that y = 3x + 2 so we can use that value of Y everytime we see i in the other equation.

6x - 2(3x +2) = -4

Now usually we'd we simply solve for X.

6x - 6x -4 = -4

This clearly does not work as we cannot get rid of X

Therefore, this system of equations has no solution we can find through substitution
