Math Problem Statement

Solve this problem.

Solution

From the clearer image you've provided, it appears there are algebraic expressions and a fraction. Here’s what I can interpret:

  1. Expression on the left side: 2x22xy2=02x^2 - 2xy - 2 = 0

  2. Expressions on the right side: 495=49100a\frac{49}{5} = \frac{49}{100a}

I'll solve both parts separately.

Part 1: Solving the Algebraic Expression

Given: 2x22xy2=02x^2 - 2xy - 2 = 0

We can simplify by dividing the entire equation by 2: x2xy1=0x^2 - xy - 1 = 0

This is a quadratic equation in terms of xx. To solve for xx, we can use the quadratic formula: x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} Here, a=1a = 1, b=yb = -y, and c=1c = -1.

Substituting these values: x=(y)±(y)24(1)(1)2(1)x = \frac{-(-y) \pm \sqrt{(-y)^2 - 4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)} x=y±y2+42x = \frac{y \pm \sqrt{y^2 + 4}}{2}

So, the solutions for xx are: x=y+y2+42orx=yy2+42x = \frac{y + \sqrt{y^2 + 4}}{2} \quad \text{or} \quad x = \frac{y - \sqrt{y^2 + 4}}{2}

Part 2: Solving the Fractional Equation

Given: 495=49100a\frac{49}{5} = \frac{49}{100a}

To solve for aa, cross-multiply: 49×100a=49×549 \times 100a = 49 \times 5

This simplifies to: 100a=5100a = 5

Solving for aa: a=5100=120a = \frac{5}{100} = \frac{1}{20}

Summary of Solutions:

  1. For the quadratic equation: x=y+y2+42orx=yy2+42x = \frac{y + \sqrt{y^2 + 4}}{2} \quad \text{or} \quad x = \frac{y - \sqrt{y^2 + 4}}{2}
  2. For the fractional equation: a=120a = \frac{1}{20}
