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.

The height h in feet of a ball thrown vertically upward from the top of a 288-foot tall building is given by h=288+48t-16t^2 whe
mr Goodwill [35]

6 sec can take penny to strike the ground.

Solution:

Given data:

H_0=288 feet

V_0=48 feet

h(t)=288+48t-16t^2

Re-arrange the terms from greatest degree to smallest degree.

h(t)=-16t^2+48t+288

We can solve it by applying quadratic formula,

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Here a = –16, b = 48, c = 288

$t=\frac{-48\pm \sqrt{48^2-4(-16)(288)}}{2(-16)}

$t=\frac{-48\pm \sqrt{2304+18432}}{-32}

$t=\frac{-48\pm \sqrt{20736}}{-32}

$t=\frac{-48\pm144}{-32}

Now, write find two t's using plus and minus operation.

$t=\frac{-48+144}{-32},\ \ t=\frac{-48-144}{-32}

$t=\frac{96}{-32},\ \ t=\frac{-192}{-32}

t = –3 (or)   t = 6

We cannot write time is negative. so neglect t = –3.

Therefore t = 6.

Hence 6 sec can take penny to strike the ground.

Find the measured of the numbered angles in the rectangle. Geometry Chapter 7.4
stira [4]

Answer:

∠3 = 18°

∠4 = 144°

∠2 = 36°

∠1 = 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the concept of alternate interior angles,

∠3 = 18°

Since the diagonal divides the rectangle into 4 parts with 2 of the rectangles being similar.

Then, the triangle with ∠3 & ∠4 is an Isosceles triangle and as such;

∠4 = 180 - 2(∠3)

∠4 = 180 - 2(18)

∠4 = 180 - 36

∠4 = 144°

∠2 = 180 - ∠4 (because sum of angles on a straight line is 180°)

∠2 = 180 - 144

∠2 = 36°

Like it was done for angle ∠4 above;

∠1 = (180 - 36)/2

∠1 = 144/2

∠1 = 72°
