y=6-3/x^2
Interchange x and y

What am I doing wrong here?
Here is my work so far:
X = 6 - 3 / y^(2)
x-6 = -3/y^(2)
-1/3x +2 = y^2)
(1/3x-2)^(1/2) = y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can u?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
In step 3, I multiplied both sides by -1/3
hartnn (hartnn):
u multiplied by -1/3 but i took y^2 in numerator ....

x-6 = -3/y^(2)
y^2=(-3)/(x-6)
y^2=-3/(x-6)

Got your mistake?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 sec, let me look at what you wrote
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I dont get how you went from step 1 to 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x-6 = -3/y^(2)
(x-6)*(y^2)=-3

Do u understand it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ah yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So now, you get y^(2) = -3 / x-6
y = square root(-3/x-6)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=+- square root ((-3)/(x-6))

Just typed it on the website that I'm doing the homework on. The answer is correct :), tyvm

Since x>0 for f(x), negative sign is rejected
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it becomes y = square root(-3/x-6)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah :). Thank you :D
