Question
The following are quadratic equations in x?
$\text{x}-\frac{6}{\text{x}}=3$
$\text{x}-\frac{6}{\text{x}}=3$
✓
Answer
$\text{x}-\frac{6}{\text{x}}=3$
$\Rightarrow x^2- 6 = 3x$
$\Rightarrow x^2 - 3x - 6 = 0$
And $(x^2- 3x - 6)$ Being a polynomial of degree 2, it is a quadratic polynomial.
Hence $\text{x}-\frac{6}{\text{x}}=3$ is a quadratic equation.
$\Rightarrow x^2- 6 = 3x$
$\Rightarrow x^2 - 3x - 6 = 0$
And $(x^2- 3x - 6)$ Being a polynomial of degree 2, it is a quadratic polynomial.
Hence $\text{x}-\frac{6}{\text{x}}=3$ is a quadratic equation.
