solve the Equation 6x^-1-5x^(-1/2)+1=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(3x^(-1/2) - 1)(2x^(-1/2)-1)=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x^(-1/2) = 1 or 2x^(-1/2)=1
\n" ); document.write( "x^(-1/2)=1/3 or x^(-1/2)= 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x^-1=1/9 or x^-1= 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=9 or x=4
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Check the answers in the original equation:
\n" ); document.write( "6x^-1-5x^(-1/2)+1=0
\n" ); document.write( "If x=9,
\n" ); document.write( "6(1/9)-5(1/3)+1=0
\n" ); document.write( "2/3-5/3+3/3=0
\n" ); document.write( "0=0
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "If x=4,
\n" ); document.write( "6(1/4)-5(1/2)+1=0
\n" ); document.write( "3/2-5/2+2/2=0
\n" ); document.write( "0=0
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Both answers check out so x=9 or x=4
