what's the value of y in x=(sqrt(y)+6)/(7-sqrt(y)) ?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Well, I am here.

OpenStudy (paomar97):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (3mar):

Welcome back!

OpenStudy (3mar):

Do you know how to separate y?

OpenStudy (paomar97):

I am trying to find the inverse of the function! I already did some steps but i'm stuck!

OpenStudy (paomar97):

Yes but not this one!

OpenStudy (paomar97):

OpenStudy (paomar97):

I sent a picture

OpenStudy (3mar):

I got it!

OpenStudy (3mar):

But why you use an online sites to find the inverse? Can not you do it yourself?

OpenStudy (paomar97):

I tried but I can't! I used mathway and wolgramalpha but the answers were not in the same format i need

OpenStudy (paomar97):

Do you know the answer?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Ok Can we do it together now? easy and fast!

OpenStudy (paomar97):

Yes!

OpenStudy (3mar):

Let' start

OpenStudy (3mar):

Can you cross multiply this fraction?

OpenStudy (paomar97):

I think so!

OpenStudy (3mar):

Show me, please!

OpenStudy (paomar97):

6/7

OpenStudy (3mar):

How is that?

OpenStudy (paomar97):

the square roots cancel

OpenStudy (3mar):

nonononon

OpenStudy (paomar97):

ohhh right it's addition so I can't

OpenStudy (paomar97):

I have to rationalize the denominator?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes.

OpenStudy (3mar):

x=(sqrt(y)+6)/(7-sqrt(y)) this is the form you give. roght?

OpenStudy (3mar):

right?

OpenStudy (paomar97):

right!

OpenStudy (3mar):

ok \[x={\frac{ \sqrt(y)+6 }{ 7-\sqrt(y) }}\] is that correct?

OpenStudy (paomar97):

yes

OpenStudy (3mar):

Great!

OpenStudy (3mar):

Now cross multi.

OpenStudy (3mar):

@paomar97 Are you there?

OpenStudy (mrnood):

@3mar I'd like to see this if poss? It looks to me that you would always have a term with yx in it

OpenStudy (3mar):

Don't you know it?

OpenStudy (3mar):

you can fisrtly cross multi, then simplify

OpenStudy (3mar):

then collect all sqrt(y) in one side then simplify

OpenStudy (3mar):

after that square both sides
