Concept explainers
Solve the equation
No solution.
Given information:
Calculation:
It has been given that
This equation can be rewritten as
Multiply both sides by LCD and solve for x
For
Therefore, there is no solution for the given equation.
Graph the left-hand side and right-hand side expressions of the given equation in the same xy -plane and the intersection point (s) will be the solution.
From the graph, there is no intersection point.
Therefore, the equation has no solution.
