Solve each equation in Exercises 83–108 by the method of your choice. x22x=1x^2 - 2x = 1

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Rewrite the given equation \(x^2 - 2x = 1\) by moving all terms to one side to set the equation equal to zero: \(x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0\).
Identify the coefficients in the quadratic equation \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\), where \(a = 1\), \(b = -2\), and \(c = -1\).
Apply the quadratic formula to solve for \(x\): \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\).
Substitute the values of \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) into the quadratic formula: \(x = \frac{-(-2) \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\).
Simplify the expression under the square root (the discriminant) and then simplify the entire expression to find the two possible values of \(x\).
