Algebra.Com's Answer #819 by khwang(438)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let m = 1/sqrt(n), so 1/n = m^2. \n" ); document.write( " Substitute into (3/n) - (7/(sqrt n)) - (6) = 0 we have\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 3m^2 - 7m - 6 = 0, \n" ); document.write( " Factor: (3m + 2)(m -3) = 0 \n" ); document.write( " So,m = 3 or m =-2/3 (negative, invalid) \n" ); document.write( " Hence, n = 1/m^2 = 1/9...Answer\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Check: (3/n) - (7/(sqrt n)) - 6 = 27 -21 -6 = 0 (OK)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Kenny \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
