Question

Solve each equation by completing the square
a) x - 5 = 2/x
b) (x-1) (x+2) - 1 = 0

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x-5=2/x

x(x-5)=2

x^2-5=2

x^2=2+5

x^2=7

x=+√7i ans

b)x(x+2)-1(x+2)-1=0

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

x^2+x-x-3=0. x cancal with -x

x^2-3=0

x^2=3

x=+√3i ans

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

⤵️

a) x-5=2/x

x(x-5)=2

x^2-5=2

x^2=2+5

x^2=7
