SOLUTION: (2+5/4x-1)= (-2/(4x-1)^2) I started it already but i do not really understand. This is what I have done: (2/1+5/4x-1)=(-2/(4x-1)^2) 2(4x-1)^2+5(4x-1)=-2 I do not know what else

Question 712487: (2+5/4x-1)= (-2/(4x-1)^2)
I started it already but i do not really understand. This is what I have done:
(2/1+5/4x-1)=(-2/(4x-1)^2)
2(4x-1)^2+5(4x-1)=-2
I do not know what else to do

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=144 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 0.125, -0.25. Here's your graph:

====================
You can check both, see if they work in the original equation.
