If


(x)/(y) = - 2
solve this:

\sqrt{ \frac{ {x}^(2) }{ {y}^(2) } + \frac{ {y}^(2) }{ {x}^(2) } }

x/y = -2

Then,

x = -2

y = 1

=》y/x = 1/-2 = -1/2

The remaining steps are attached. Please check.

=》 Final answer = √17/4 = 2.061 (approx.)

Answer:


  • √(17)/2

Explanation:

Given:

  • x/y = - 2

Then:

  • y/x = - 1/2

Solve the expression:


  • √(x^2/y^2+y^2/x^2) =

  • √((x/y)^2+(y/x)^2) =

  • √((-2)^2+(-1/2)^2) =

  • √(4+1/4) =

  • √(17/4) =

  • √(17)/2
