$-\sqrt{5}=-x-x^{-1}$
Learn how to solve quadratic formula problems step by step online. Solve the equation x+x^(-1)=5^(1/2). Move the term with the square root to the left side of the equation, and all other terms to the right side. Remember to change the signs of each term. Applying the property of exponents, \displaystyle a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}, where n is a number. Move everything to the left hand side of the equation. Combine all terms into a single fraction with x as common denominator.
