The answer
the full the question is as follow:
<span>Which of the following is an extraneous solution of (45 - 3x)^1/2 =x -9

for solving such an equation, this is the method:

finding the squared value of each member of the equation
</span>[(45 - 3x)^1/2 ]²  = (x -9)²   (E)
<span>
extend each value of the member
</span>[(45 - 3x)^1/2 ]² = 45 - 3x, because   (sqrt a )² = a
the condition is 45 - 3x≥0 ( because of the square root)
it means  - 3x≥ -45 and  x ≤ 15

(x -9)² = x²-18x + 81
<span>
so </span>45 - 3x = x²-18x + 81, this is equivalent to x² - 15x  +36 =0
<span>
this equation should solve for x, for finding the help

Delta = 15² - 4*36 = 81, so x = - (-15) - sqrt (81)  /  2 *1=15-9 /2= 3

                                      and </span>x = - (-15) +sqrt (81)  /  2 *1= 15 +9/2= 24/2=12
<span>
for x= 12, the equation given above ( equation E) has no solution, because 
we can find 3=9

so </span><span>an extraneous solution is x = 12</span><span>

</span>

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that goes through the points
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: The equation in slope-intercept form is y=2x-11

Step-by-step explanation: Slope-intercept is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, you find the difference between the y values divided by the difference between the x values. -5-(-9) = 4, and 3-1 is 2. 4/2 is 2, so m = 2. Since the slope is 2, it states for every x you move on the right you move 2 up. But we are trying to get the y-intercept, so x = 0. We are subtracting 1 in our x value, so we move 2 downwards. We subtract 2 from -9 which gives us -11, which is our y-intercept.

Hope this helps!

Okay. For these types of problems, you must do order of operations (PEMDAS). Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. Mind you that you do these steps from left to right, and multiplication and division is done from left to right. Same thing with addition and subtraction. With that being said, here are your answers if you do the expressions correctly.

Pyramid A is a right square pyramid with a height of 100 m and a square base with a perimeter of 356 m. Pyramid B has a square b
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The volume of pyramid B is 3.5 times greater than the volume of pyramid A

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of squared based a pyramid is given by:

Area = \frac{1}{3}*s*s*h

Where 's' the length of the side of the base and 'h' is the height.

For pyramid A:

h= 100 m

s= 356/4 = 89 m

Area_A = \frac{1}{3}*89*89*100\\Area_A=264,033.33\ m^3

For pyramid B:

h= 215 m

s= 456/4 = 114 m

Area_B = \frac{1}{3}*114*114*215\\Area_B=931,380\ m^3

Pyramid B has a greater volume and the ratio between volumes is:

\frac{Area_B}{Area_A} =\frac{931,380}{264,033.33}\\\frac{Area_B}{Area_A} =3.5
