Question

the discriminant of the equation x=1/x is​

Answer 1

Answer:

The discriminant of the equation x=1/x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation is x = 1/x

→ x * x = x * 1/x

→ x^2 = 1

→ x^2 - 1 = 0

Discriminant is given by b^2 - 4ac

Here,

b = 0 ;

a = 1

c = - 1

So, discriminant is

→ (0)^2 - 4(1)(-1)

→ - 4(-1)

→ 4

Hence discriminant is 4.
