<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
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: We have been given 4 expressions. We are asked to choose the expression that represents sum of cubes.
We know that sum of cubes is in form .
We can see that 1st and 2nd option has a negative sign. Therefore, these options cannot be sum of cubes.
Let us check 3rd and 4th options one by one.
We can rewrite our expression by writing terms as cubes:
Therefore, expression is a sum of cubes.
In 4th expression, we can see that . We cannot represent it as a cube. Similarly, we cannot represent as a cube. Therefore, 4th expression is not correct.
Answer:
y>-3 y>-7
Step-by-step explanation:
-(y+5)>2
y<-7
Answer:
A.) 1
Step-by-step explanation:
First change the equation to 2 + ( - 8x ) = -6 so it’s easier to read
Take away 2 from both sides
So now you have -8x = -8
Divide both sides by -8 so you get positive x and 1
x = 1
