Math Problem Statement

Solution

The images contain the following equation:

(t1t)+(11t)=t\left(\sqrt{t - \frac{1}{t}}\right) + \left(\sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{t}}\right) = t

Let's solve this equation step by step.

Step 1: Square Both Sides

To eliminate the square roots, let's square both sides of the equation:

(t1t)2+2(t1t)(11t)+(11t)2=t2\left(\sqrt{t - \frac{1}{t}}\right)^2 + 2\sqrt{\left(t - \frac{1}{t}\right)\left(1 - \frac{1}{t}\right)} + \left(\sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{t}}\right)^2 = t^2

Step 2: Simplify the Equation

Squaring each term individually:

(t1t)+(11t)+2(t1t)(11t)=t2\left(t - \frac{1}{t}\right) + \left(1 - \frac{1}{t}\right) + 2\sqrt{\left(t - \frac{1}{t}\right)\left(1 - \frac{1}{t}\right)} = t^2

Simplify further by adding like terms:

t1t+11t+2(t1t)(11t)=t2t - \frac{1}{t} + 1 - \frac{1}{t} + 2\sqrt{\left(t - \frac{1}{t}\right)\left(1 - \frac{1}{t}\right)} = t^2

t+12t+2(t1t)(11t)=t2t + 1 - \frac{2}{t} + 2\sqrt{\left(t - \frac{1}{t}\right)\left(1 - \frac{1}{t}\right)} = t^2

Step 3: Analyze for Real Solutions

To simplify further and check if there are real solutions, we would need to handle the square root term carefully and assess under what conditions this equation holds true. This typically involves setting the square root term to zero (which implies specific values of tt) and checking for values that satisfy the entire equation.

Given that the equation is complex and involves square roots, the solution requires algebraic manipulation that might involve special cases or numerical methods to solve for tt.
