Problem1: Let $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ be the root of $x^2-7x-9=0$. Find the value of $|x_{1}-x_{2}|$. Solution $$|x_{1}-x_{2}|=\dfrac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{|a|}=\dfrac{\sqrt{(-7)^2-4\cdot(-9)}}{|1|}=\sqrt{85}$$ Problem 2: Find all solutions of $\sqrt{x+10}-\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{x+10}}=5$. Solution Let $y=\sqrt{x+10}$, we have $$y-\dfrac{6}{y}=5$$ Multiplying $y$ on both side of the equation, we have … Continue reading →
