i need to write 20 characters so im typing this
<h3>
Answer: 5</h3>
=================================================
Work Shown:
x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0
x^2 + 1 - 5x = 0
x^2 + 1 = 5x
(x^2 + 1)/x = 5 .... where x is nonzero
(x^2)/x + (1/x) = 5
x + (1/x) = 5
---------------
An alternative method involves solving the original equation using the quadratic formula. After you get the two roots x = p and x = q, you should be able to find that p + 1/p = 5 and also q + 1/q = 5 as well.
In this case,
p = (5 + sqrt(21))/2
q = (5 - sqrt(21))/2
6/10÷3=0.2 i don't know if you want an explanation
I am sorry i don’t understand can you just type it again ?
If x < - 2 and x ∈ { - 5, - 2.6, - 2, - 0.8, 1, 1.5 }
- 5 < - 2 and - 2.6 < - 2
The solution set is:
A ) { - 5 , - 2.6 }
