Answer:
m<GFA = 110
Step-by-step explanation:
1. ABCD - parallelogram Definition of a parallelogram
(AB ll CD) (AD ll BC)
2. m<B + m<C = 180 Consectuive angles in a
110 + m<C = 180 parallelogram are supplementary
m<C = 70
3. m<GCB = 1/2 m<C Definition of angles bisector
m<GCB = 70
4. m<B = m<D = 110 Opposite angles in a
parrallelogram are congruent
5. m<CDG = 1/2 m<D Defintion of an angle bisector
m<CDG = 55
6. m<GCB+m<CDG+m<CGD=180 Sum of anlges in a triangle (ΔCDG)
70 + 55 + m<CGD = 180
125 + m<CGD = 180
m<CGD = 55
7. m<CGD + m<DGF = 180 Linear pair, supplmentary angles
55 + m<DGF = 180
m<DGF = 125
8. m<C = m<A = 70 Opposite angles in a paralellogram
are congruent
9. m<ADG = 1/2m<D Definiton of an angle bisector
m<ADG = 55
10.m<ADG+m<DFG+m<GFA+m<A=360 Sum of angles in quadrilateral
55 + 125 + m<GFA + 70 = 360 DGFA
m<GFA + 250 = 360
m<GFA = 110
Answer:
The extraneous solution is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let us calculate the value of 'x' without squaring both side of the expression. This is illustrated below:
-5 = 3x - 7
Collect like terms
-5 + 7 = 3x
2 = 3x
Divide both side by 3
x = 2/3.
Now, let us calculate the value of 'x' by squaring both side of the expression. This is illustrated below:
(-5)^2 = (3x - 7)^2
25 = (3x - 7)(3x - 7)
25 = 9x^2 - 21x - 21x + 49
9x^2 - 42x + 49 - 25 = 0
9x^2 - 42x + 24 = 0
Solving by factorisation:
Multiply the first term i.e 9x^2 and 3rd term i.e 24 together. The result is 216x^2.
Next, we shall obtain two factors of 216x^2 such that when we add them together, it will give the 2nd term i.e -42x in the equation. These factors are: -6x and -36x
Now we can write the above equation as:
9x^2 - 42x + 24 = 0
9x^2 - 6x - 36x + 24 = 0
3x(3x - 2) - 12(3x - 2) = 0
(3x - 12)(3x - 2) = 0
3x - 12 = 0 or 3x - 2 = 0
3x = 12 or 3x = 2
x = 12/3 or x = 2/3
x = 4 or 2/3.
We can see that when we solve the question without squaring both side, the value of x is 2/3. But when we solve by squaring both side, the value of x are 4 and 2/3.
Therefore, the extraneous solution to the question is 4.
