Any of you late hour keepers want to show off your skills?
I have one problem on my homework that I think I don't have right--the answer needs to be a simplified fraction and radicals, and can't be in decimal form.
x squared plus 5/2 x = 5
The two answers I got for x are
1/4 (-5 - square root 105) , 1/4 (square root 105-5)
Only one more week of algebra to go!
