Answer:
Other diagonal is 8 m
Step-by-step explanation:
area of rhombus = 72 m²
½ × diagonal 1 × diagonal 2 = 72
½ × 18 × d2 = 72
9 × d2 = 72
d2 = 72/9
d2 = 8
The equation 5/2 - x + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0 is a quadratic equation
The value of x is 8 or 1
<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>
The equation is given as:
5/2 - x + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0
Rewrite as:
-5/x - 2 + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0
Take the LCM
[-5(x + 2) + (x -5)(x- 2)]\[x^2 - 4 + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4] = 0
Expand
[-5x - 10 + x^2 - 7x + 10]/[x^2 - 4] + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4] = 0
Evaluate the like terms
[x^2 - 12x]/[x^2 - 4] + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4 = 0
Multiply through by x^2 - 4
x^2 - 12x+ 3x + 8 = 0
Evaluate the like terms
x^2 -9x + 8 = 0
Expand
x^2 -x - 8x + 8 = 0
Factorize
x(x -1) - 8(x - 1) = 0
Factor out x - 1
(x -8)(x - 1) = 0
Solve for x
x = 8 or x = 1
Hence, the value of x is 8 or 1
