If ⁻¹ ( x+1 x-1 )+ ⁻¹ ( x-1 x )= ⁻¹(-7) , then x is equal to
Options
- A-1
- B1
- C2
- D4
Correct answer
C. 2
Step-by-step solution
aligned & ⁻¹ ( x+1 x-1 )+ ⁻¹ ( x-1 x )= ⁻¹(-7) & ⁻¹ [ x+1 x-1 + x-1 x 1- ( x+1 x-1 ) ( x-1 x ) ]= ⁻¹(-7) aligned aligned & ⁻¹ [ x(x+1)+(x-1)(x-1) x(x-1)-(x+1)(x-1) ]= ⁻¹(-7) & ⁻¹ ( x^2+x+x^2-2 x+1 x^2-x-x^2+1 )= ⁻¹(-7) & ⁻¹ ( 2 x^2-x+1 1-x )= ⁻¹(-7) aligned aligned & 2 x^2-x+1 1-x =-7 & 2 x^2-8 x+8=0 & x^2-4 x+4=0 & (x-2)^2=0 & x=2 aligned
