This is my problem:
solve:
1+1/x+1/x^2=0
How do I go about this?
What should I do first?

Solve: \(\displaystyle \L\:1\,+\,\frac{1}{x}\,+\,\frac{1}{x^2}\:=\:0\)
YOU solve using the quadratic...NOT the calculator :shock:silverdragon316 said:ok, when I try to use the quadratic formula I get no answer. I used a quadratic equation calculator and it says it's not defined.
What do you mean by "no answer"? (When you reply, along with showing your work, please specify whether you have yet studied complex numbers; that is, the numbers with "i" in them.)silverdragon316 said:when I try to use the quadratic formula I get no answer.
I'm sorry, but I don't know what this means. You have a quadratic that you need to solve (and which is already equal to zero), not two binomials that you need to multiply (informally called "FOILing"). What are you proposing be multiplied?silverdragon316 said:Now your suppose to FOILand equal 0 right?
