Question

: Solve
3/(4q)+1/(2q^2)=1/(8q).
i got q=2/3…

Answer 1

q would actually be -4/5.

do you want me to type out the steps?

Answer 2

can you draw it

Answer 3

\[1/(2 q^2)+3/(4 q) = 1/(8 q)\]
Subtract 1/(8 q) from both sides:
\[1/(2 q^2)+5/(8 q) = 0\]
Multiply both sides by q^2:
\[(5 q)/8+1/2 = 0\]
Subtract 1/2 from both sides:
\[(5 q)/8 = -1/2\]
Divide both sides by 5/8:
\[q = -4/5\]

Answer 4

is this a different way to solving rational equations

Answer 5

No i think this would be the only way to do it. Or at least the most logical...

Answer 6

ok thanks

Answer 7

no prob
