[trying to ascend]

f(x) = (1 - 1/x) to the power of 1/2 + (x - 1/x) to the power of 1/2 - x

What's the value of x when f(x) = 0?

It's just a square root in the two parenthesis

It's just a square root in the two parenthesis

so f(x)=sqrt(1-1/x)+sqrt(x-1/x)-x ??

 

[trying to ascend]

so f(x)=sqrt(1-1/x)+sqrt(x-1/x)-x ??

yes

 

[Quarantined]

can x be 1?

 

[CountBleck]

x=(1+sqrt(5))/2

or the golden ratio

i'll write up a solution after work if i care by then

can x be 1?

No, sqrt of 0 isn't part of the domain, but even if it was, x = 1 doesn't equal f(x) to zero

 

[trying to ascend]

x=(1+sqrt(5))/2

or the golden ratio

How did you do it that fast?

How did you do it that fast?

it's a pretty easy equation, just manipulating square roots i'll write up a solution rn, but for the sake of brevity i won't make it too formal
