Question

Consider the equations y = VI and y

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 2.62$ and $x = 0.381$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = \sqrt x$

$y = x - 1$

Required

y, when they are equal.

To do this, we set them to another

$\sqrt{x} = x - 1$

Square both sides

$x = (x - 1)^2$

Expand

$x = x^2 - 2x + 1$

Collect like terms

$x^2 -x-2x+1 = 0$

$x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0$

Using quadratic formula

$x = 2.62$ and $x = 0.381$
