Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 28WE

The solution set for the given equation is {1+62,162} .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The given equation is,

  x+1xxx+1=2.... (1)

Formula used: With the help of quadratic formula,

  x=b±b24ac2a.... (2)

Calculation: The given equation (1) can be written as,

  x+1xxx+1=2.... (From (1))(x+1)2x2=2x(x+1)....(Multiply both sidesby x(x+1))x22x+1x2=2x2+2x or, 2x2+4x1=0.... (3)

Now, the equation (3) can be solved with the help of quadratic formula (2) as,

  x=(4)±(4)24(2)(1)2(2)....{a=2,b=4and c=1}=4±244.... (Simplified)=4±264=4+264,4264=1+62,162
