Answer:
x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x = 2 - sqrt(5)
Step-by-step explanation using the quadratic formula:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
7 (x^2 - 4 x - 1) = 0
Divide both sides by 7:
x^2 - 4 x - 1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x = 1
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x + 4 = 5
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 2)^2 = 5
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 2 = sqrt(5) or x - 2 = -sqrt(5)
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x - 2 = -sqrt(5)
Add 2 to both sides:
Answer: x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x = 2 - sqrt(5)
Subtract 3x from both sides:
-6y = -3x + 6
divide both sides by -6 to get y by itself:
y = 1/2x - 1
function notation is rewriting y as a function:
f(x) = 1/2x -1
The first option,
both have to be negative, because they were originally both part of the one fraction, which was all negative.
