Haya master, twende na swali hili.

  1. Rahisisha usemi wa aljebra.

    Namba ya juu, x2−1x^2-1, ni tofauti ya miraba, ambayo inaweza kuandikwa kama (x−1)(x+1)(x-1)(x+1).
    Hivyo, mlinganyo unakuwa:

    (x−1)(x+1)x−1=4\frac{(x-1)(x+1)}{x-1} = 4
  2. Futa vigezo vinavyofanana.

    Kama x−1≠0x-1 \neq 0 (yaani, x≠1x \neq 1), tunaweza kufuta (x−1)(x-1) kutoka juu na chini:

    x+1=4x+1 = 4
  3. Tatua kwa xx.

    Toa 1 kutoka pande zote mbili za mlinganyo:

    x=4−1x = 4 - 1 x=3x = 3
  4. Thibitisha jibu.

    Kumbuka kwamba tulidhani x≠1x \neq 1. Thamani yetu ya x=3x=3 inakidhi sharti hili.
    Kwa hiyo, thamani ya xx ni 3.

    Jibu sahihi ni (a).
    Thamani ya xx ni 3\boxed{\text{}3\text{}}
