Question

Find the roots of the quadratic equation x-1/x=1(x=0)

Answer 1

Answer:

hi. a very easy question from your side mate.

Step-by-step explanation:

x-1/x = 1

x²-1= x   [ taking x as lcm]

x²-x-1 = 0

using quadratic formula where b= -1, a=1, c=-1

b²-4ac

1+4 =5 > 0  [ the roots are real and distinct]

therefore the roots are given by

x= -b ±√b²-4ac / 2a

x= 1+√5/2 ,  1-√5/2
