HW x_1= -¼ and x_2 = -1 Let x+2/x be equal to y then substitute to the equation. it will be y² + 8y + 7 = 0. You can use the quadratic equation or just find their roots, which will be y = -7 and y = -1. Then just substitute y with x+2/x then you will arrive at x = -¼ and x =-1
HW: Using equation t^2+8t+7=0, substitute t=-7 and t=-1. Let x+2/x = -7 and x+2/x = -1 The answer derived were x= -1/4 and x= -1 Sorry 😐 I'm not good at explaining/putting my answers into words ✌️✌️
