Solve: \(\frac{x}{(x+1)}+\frac1x=3\).

  1. \(x=\frac{-5+\sqrt2}{2}\)

  2. \(x=\frac{-1+\sqrt3}{2}\)

  3. \(x=\frac{-3+\sqrt7}{2}\)

  4. \(x=\frac{-9+\sqrt5}{2}\)

Answer: B

Solution

Multiplying both sides by x(x + 1) gives \(x^2+x+1=3x^2+3x\), so \(2x^2+2x-1=0\). Using the quadratic formula, \(x=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt3}{2}\). The matching listed option is \(x=\frac{-1+\sqrt3}{2}\).
