√a +1/√a= 3
You asked:
Solve the equation \(\sqrt{a} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}} = 3\) for the variable \(a\).
MathBot Answer:
The 2 solutions to the equation are: \[\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{7}{2} - \frac{3 \sqrt{5}}{2} \approx 0.14589803\\a &= \frac{7}{2} + \frac{3 \sqrt{5}}{2} \approx 6.854102\end{aligned}\]
