The question is incomplete. Completed question is given below the answer.

His solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.

Given  

Then the solution follows thus:

Step 1: 8(x – 4) = 2(x + 2)

Step 2: 4(x – 4) = (x + 2)

Step 3: 4x – 16 = x + 2

Step 4: 3x = 18

Step 5: x = 6

It can be seen that his solution is correct. But 6 is not an extraneous solution.

An extraneous solution is a solution to an equation that emerges from the process of solving the problem but is not a valid solution to the original problem.

When 6 is substituted into the original equation, the original equation holds.

Therefore, his solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.

Completed question:-

A student solves the following equation for all possible values of x:His solution is as follows:

Step 1: 8(x – 4) = 2(x + 2)

Step 2: 4(x – 4) = (x + 2)

Step 3: 4x – 16 = x + 2

Step 4: 3x = 18

Step 5: x = 6

He determines that 6 is an extraneous solution because the difference of the numerators is 6, so the 6s cancel to 0.

Which best describes the reasonableness of the student’s solution?

His solution for x is correct and his explanation of the extraneous solution is reasonable.

His solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, both denominators have to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.

His solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.

His solution for x is incorrect. When solved correctly, there are no extraneous solutions.

Si un proyectil asciende verticalmente, y después de 3 segundos alcanza su altura máxima, calcule la velocidad que lleva a la mi
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The speed is 20.8  m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

If a projectile ascends vertically, and after 3 seconds it reaches its maximum height, calculate the velocity that it carries to the middle of its downward trajectory

Let the maximum height is h and initial velocity is u.

From first equation of motion

v = u + at

0 = u - g x 3

u = 3 g.....(1)

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 - 2 gh \\\\0 = 9 g^2 - 2 gh \\\\h = 4.5 g

Let the speed at half the height is v'.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 gh \\\\v'^2 = 0 + 2 g\times 2.25 g\\\\v'^2 = 4.5\times 9.8\times9.8\\\\v' = 20.8 m/s

14000Kilolitres

Step-by-step explanation:

1megalitre = 1000kilolitres \\

14megalitres = xkilolitres

Cross multiply

14 \times 1000 = xkilolitres

a total of $9500 is invested, part at 10% simple interest and part at 9%. if the total annual return from the two investments is
Nutka1998 [239]

a total of $9500 is invested, part at 10% simple interest and part at 9%

if the total annual return from the two investments is $914.00

Amount invested = 9500

Total amount return means total yield = $914

Let x amount  is invested at 10% simple interest

Interest for first part =  10 % times x = 0.10x

Remaining part invested is 9500 -x

Interest for remaining amount = 9% (9500 -x) = 0.09(9500-x)

Total interest yield is 914. Now we frame an equation

0.10x + 0.09(9500-x) = 914

0.10x +855 - 0.09x = 914 (combine like terms)

0.01 x + 855 = 914 (subtract 855)

0.01x = 59 ( divide both sides by 0.01)

So x = 5900

$5900 is invested in 10% simple interest

9500 - 5900 = $3600 is invested in 9% simple interest
