Answer:
1. x = 12
2. 3∛4 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We are given the equation of x as 
and we have to find the extraneous solution of the equation.
Now, ............. (1)
⇒ 
Squaring both sides we get,
⇒ x - 3 = 81 - 18x + x²
⇒ x² - 19x + 84 = 0
⇒ x² - 12x - 7x + 84 = 0
⇒ (x - 12)(x - 7) = 0
⇒ x = 12 or 7.
Now, putting x = 12 in the equation (1) we get,
Again, putting x = 7 in the equation (1) we get,
Therefore, x = 12 is an extraneous solution of this equation. (Answer)
2. The volume of a cube with side lengths a ft. is given to be 108 ft³.
So, a³ = 108
⇒ a = 3∛4 feet.
Therefore, the length of the sides of the cube are each 3∛4 feet. (Answer)
Answer:
3/5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
By making ‘a’ the subject, I believe you mean isolate the variable ‘a’.
1/a - 1/b = 1/c : add 1/b to both sides
1/a = 1/b + 1/c : combine the unlike fractions by finding a common denominator, bc is the common denominator
1/a = (1/b)(c/c) + (1/c)(b/b) : simplify
1/a = (c/bc) + (b/bc) : add numerators only, because the denominators match
1/a = (c + b)/bc : multiply both sides by a
1 = (a)[(c + b)/bc] : multiply both sides by the reciprocal of [(c + b)/bc] which is [bc/(b + c)]
1[bc/(b + c)] = a
a = bc/(b + c)
This will not work if c = -b, because then you would be dividing by zero.
Example: 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6 a = 2, b = 3 c= 6
a = bc/(b + c) => 2 = (3 x 6)/(3 + 6) => 2 = 18/9 => 2 = 2.
