Question

Sum of a number and its reciprocal is $5 \frac{1}{5}$ . Then the required equation is

y^{2} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{26}{5}

5 y^{2} - 26 y + 5 = 0

y^{2} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{26}{5} = 0

5 y^{2} + 26 y + 5 = 0

Let

y

be any number.

⟹

y + \frac{1}{y} = 5 \frac{1}{5}

⟹

y + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{26}{5}

⟹

5 (y^{2} + 1) = 26 y

⟹

5 y^{2} + 5 = 26 y

∴

5 y^{2} - 26 y + 5 = 0
