Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

(√x - 1) / 1 = 1 / (√x + 1)

√x - 1 = 1 / (√x + 1)

√x - 1 =  √x - 1 / (√x + 1)(√x - 1)

√x - 1 =  √x - 1 / x - 1

(√x - 1)(x - 1) = √x - 1

x - 1 = 1

x = 2

Answer:

x = ± \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 3 terms of a geometric sequence

\sqrt{x-1}, 1, \sqrt{x+1}, then the common ratio r

r = \frac{\sqrt{(x+1)} }{1} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{(x-1)} } ( cross- multiply )

\sqrt{(x+1)(x-1)} = 1 ( square both sides )

(x + 1 )(x - 1 ) = 1 ← expand factors on left side )

x² - 1 = 1 ( add 1 to both sides )

x² = 2 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{2}

Sharon kicks a ball from the ground into the air with an upward velocity of 64 feet per second. The function h = -16t2 + 64t mod
iren2701 [21]
When the ball reaches the ground is equal to one of the zeros, or x-intercepts. In order to find the zeros of a function, you need to factor the equation.
y=16x^2+64x
y=-16x(x-4)
The zeros are x=0 and x=4
Therefore the answer is D, after 4 seconds.
Hope this helps!
