Question

solve for u, u=sqrt -u+6

u=ã-u+6

Answer 1

do you mean

u = (sqrt(-6 + u))

please use the word 'sqrt' and put in ()
what is included under the radical

thank you

Answer 2

u = (sqrt(-u + 6))

u = (sqrt(6 - u))
square both sides
u^2 = 6 - u
u^2 + u - 6

complete the square
u^2 + u = 6
u^2 + u + 1/4 = 6 + 1/4
(u + 1/2)^2 = 25/4
take the square root of both sides

+ - (u + 1/2) = 5/2
u + 1/2 = 5/2
u = 4/2 = 2

-u - 1/2 = 5/2
-u = 6/2 = 3
u = -3

check for u = 2
u = (sqrt(6 - u))
2 = (sqrt(6 - 2))
2 = sqrt 4
2 = 2

check for u = -3
u = (sqrt(6 - u))
-3 = (sqrt(6 + 3))
-3 = sqrt 9
-3 not = 3

so, the only solution is u = 2
