(1/x) + x =(1/2)

hero (hero):

\[\frac{1}{x} + \frac{x}{1} = \frac{1}{2}\]

hero (hero):

\[\frac{1}{x} + \frac{x}{1} \dot\ \frac{x}{x} = \frac{1}{2}\] \[\frac{1}{x} + \frac{x^2}{x} = \frac{1}{2}\]

hero (hero):

\[\frac{1 + x^2}{x} = \frac{1}{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not seeing how this will solve (1/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you can't solve (1/x) +x= (1/2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol.

hero (hero):

@staldk3, cross multiply

hero (hero):

\[2(1 + x^2) = x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait.....I'm confused...

hero (hero):

\[2 + x^2 = x\] \[x^2 - x + 2 = 0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, this problem has complex solutions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can we restart this problem from the beginning. I'm sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm pretty sure your math level isn't the level for complex solutions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, Hero just gave you easy way (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x=0

..I love how you disagree with people and say you don't understand then at the end your always asking for just the answer...
