The sum of a non-zero number and its reciprocal is 4120. Find that number.
let the number be x
then,
According to the qusetion
x+1x=4120
x2+1x=4120
20(x2+1)=41x
⇒20x2+20−41x=0
⇒20x2−16x−25x+20=0
⇒4x(5x−4)−5(5x−4)=0
⇒(4x−5)(5x−4)=0
When, 4x−5=0⇒x=54
and when 5x−4=0⇒x=45
So, x=54,45
Hence, the number is 54or45
