Solve the quadratic (x+57)/6=x^2

We have to solve
(x+57)/6=x^2


(x+57)/6=x^2


=>
x + 57 = 6x^2


=> 6x^2 - x - 57 =
0


The roots of a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 are
given by [-b + sqrt (b^2 - 4ac)]/2a and [-b + sqrt (b^2 -
4ac)]/2a.


Here a = 6 , b = -1 and c =
-57.


Substituting we get


x1 =
[1 + sqrt(1 + 24*57)]/12


=> x1 = 1/12 + sqrt 1369 /
12


=> x1 = 1/12 +
37/12


=> x1 =
38/12


=> x1 = 19/6


x2 =
1/12 - sqrt 1369 / 12


=> x2 = 1/12 -
37/12


=> x2 =
-36/12


=> x2 =
-3


Therefore x is equal to -3 and
19/6

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
