Need some help!
Ok, so im at a friends house and he gives me an equation to see if I can figure it out, as he is having trouble with it.....
1/x2(squared)+2/x-8=0 I figured it to x=.5 but my math is rusty...... Any help? It's really bothering me! I want to know if I got it right or not. Dustin

Re: Need some help!
(1/(x^2)) + (2/x) - 8 = 0
Multiply all by (x^2) 1 + 2x - 8(x^2) = 0 Negate both sides -1 - 2x + 8(x^2) = 0 Reorder 8(x^2) - 2x - 1 = 0 "Undo" (4x + 1) * (2x - 1) = 0 Two answers: (4x + 1) = 0 -> x = -1/4 (2x - 1) = 0 -> x = 1/2 Is it sad that I fell into this trap?

Re: Need some help!
You're light years ahead of me and I need to get this out of my head so I can do my first tranny removal.
