solve using quadratic formula and finding all complex number solutions

Question

1

---   -3=8

x^2      ---

             x

 

 

Answer 1

I am going with 1/x² - 3 = 8/x    With the restriction x ≠ 0,

 

1 - 3x² = 8x

-3x² - 8x + 1 = 0

 

a = -3

b = -8

c = 1

 

Use these values in the quadratic formula.
