Solve the rational equation

1/x+3/8=1/4

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Step 1: Subtract 3/8 from both sides
1/x+3/8-3/8=1/4-3/8
1/x=1/4-3/8

Step 2: Multiply 1/4 by 1/2
1/x=(1/4)(1/2)-3/8
1/x=2/8-3/8

Step 3: Subtract
1/x=-1/8

Step 5: Multiply by x on both sides
1/x(x)=-1/8(x)
1=-1/8x

Step 6: Divide -1/8
1/(-1/8)=-1/8x/(1/8)
*You can times flip
1(-8)=-1/8x(8)
-8=-x
*Divide by -1
-8/-1=-x/-1
8=x

Solve the equation: √x+1 = x-1

Answers

√(x+1) = x - 1 \n \n x + 1 = (x - 1)^2 \n \n x + 1 = x^2 - 2x + 1 \n \n x = x^2 - 2x \n \n x - x^2 + 2x = 0 \n \n 3x - x^2 = 0 \n \n x(3 - x)= 0 \n \n x = 0,3 \n \n x = 0 \ is \ false \n \n x = 3

The final result is, x = 3.

The solutions we gather were x = 0,3. 
We dropped x = 0 from the equation since it does not become true, so we are left with x = 3. 
√x + 1 = x - 1
           ↓
      √x = x - 1 + 1
           ↓
      √x = x

Since 1 is the only real number whose square root equals itself, we can safely assume that x = 1.

prove algebraically that the straight line with the equation x=2y+5 is a tangent of the circle with the equation x^2+y^2=5

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove the straight line is tangent to the circle:

  1. substitute the straight line into the circle equation
  2. discriminant of the new equation has to be equals to 0

(1)

substitute x = 2y + 5 into x² + y² = 5

x² + y² = 5

(2y + 5)² + y² = 5

4y² + 20y + 25 + y² = 5

5y² + 20y + 20 = 0

y² + 4y + 4 = 0

(2)

discriminant of y² + 4y + 4 = 0 has to be equals to 0

\boxed{D=b^2-4ac}

D = 4² - 4(1)(4)

D = 0

∴ Proven
