Question
Solve the equation
Solve for u
Solve for v
u=21+1+4v−4v2u=21−1+4v−4v2
Evaluate
u+v=u2+v2
Move the expression to the left side
u+v−(u2+v2)=0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
u+v−u2−v2=0
Simplify
u+v−v2−u2=0
Rewrite in standard form
−u2+u+v−v2=0
Multiply both sides
u2−u−v+v2=0
Substitute a=1,b=−1 and c=−v+v2 into the quadratic formula u=2a−b±b2−4ac
u=21±(−1)2−4(−v+v2)
Simplify the expression
