[tex]\frac{x}{2} = x^2 - \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Question 2:
[tex]\frac{5}{x} + 1 = x[/tex]

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]-2x^2+x+3=0[/tex]

[tex]-x^2+x+5=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraic Manipulation

Consists of applying basic rules of algebra to simplify or transform algebraic expressions into others.

We are required to rewrite two expressions as quadratics in standard form.

Question 1:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x}{2} = x^2 - \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

To get rid of the denominators, multiply by 2:

[tex]x=2x^2-3[/tex]

Move all the terms to the left side:

[tex]x-2x^2+3=0[/tex]

Order by degree:

[tex]\boxed{-2x^2+x+3=0}[/tex]

Question 2:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{5}{x} + 1 = x[/tex]

Multiply by x (x must be different from 0):

[tex]5+x=x^2[/tex]

Move all the terms to the left side:

[tex]5+x-x^2=0[/tex]

Order by degree:

[tex]\boxed{-x^2+x+5=0}[/tex]
