- \frac{1}{x ^{2}} = - \frac{1}{5}

x = 5, x = - 5

Decimal

x = 2.23606 \dots, x = - 2.23606 \dots

Solution steps

- \frac{1}{x ^{2}} = - \frac{1}{5}

Cross multiply

- 5 = - x^{2}

Solve

- 5 = - x^{2} : x = 5, x = - 5

x = 5, x = - 5

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 5, x = - 5

- \frac{1}{x ^{2}} = - \frac{1}{3}

x - \frac{3 x + 2}{x - 5} = \frac{7}{x - 5}

1 - \frac{2 x}{x + 1} = \frac{2}{x + 1}

\frac{3 x - 26}{7} = - \frac{5}{x}

\frac{1}{2 x - 1} = 3 x + 1
