the choices are A) x=1/4 and x=2 B) x=-1/4 and X=-2 C)x=1/4 and x=-2 D)x=-1/4 and x=2
mathslover (mathslover):
Given : solve for x ..
\[\LARGE{\frac{5}{x^2-1}-\frac{2}{x}=\frac{2}{x+1}}\]
mathslover (mathslover):
now ... first of all .. : add 2/x on both sides
mathslover (mathslover):
that is :
\[\large{\frac{5}{x^2-1}-\frac{2}{x}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{2}{x+1}+\frac{2}{x}}\]
\[\large{\frac{5}{x^2-1}=\frac{2}{x+1}+\frac{2}{x}}\]

can you solve this ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would it end up 7/x^2 ?
mathslover (mathslover):
I think i should solve this here .. you will get your answer on ur own ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes please!
mathslover (mathslover):
\[\LARGE{\frac{5}{x^2-1}=\frac{2}{x+1}+\frac{2}{x}}\]
\[\LARGE{\frac{5}{x^2-1}=\frac{2x+2(x+1)}{x(x+1)}}\]

what r u getting after simplifying it?
mathslover (mathslover):
dont solve now .. just simplify
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5/x^2-1 x+2/1???
mathslover (mathslover):
\[\LARGE{\frac{5}{x^2-1}=\frac{4x+2}{x^2+1}}\]

now : \[\LARGE{5(x^2+1)=(4x+2)(x^2-1)}\]
\[\LARGE{5x^2+5=4x^3+2x^2-4x-2}\]
can u solve it now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is what i got: 3x^2+7=4x^3-4x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@mathslover
mathslover (mathslover):
ok .. so now solve it ..
:
3x^2+7 = 4x^3-4x
0=4x^3-3x^2-4x+7
4x^3-3x^2-4x+7=0
solve it (cubic equation)
