The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"

sqrt(-x+10)-x = 2
sqrt(-x+10) = x+2 ... add x to both sides
-x+10 = (x+2)^2 ... square both sides
-x+10 = x^2+4x+4 ... use FOIL
x^2+5x-6 = 0 ... get everything to one side; combine like terms
(x-1)(x+6) = 0 ... factor
x-1=0 or x+6 = 0 ... zero product property
x = 1 or x = -6  .... solve each sub-equation for x

The possible solutions are x = 1 or x = -6. We need to check each of those solutions

Let's check x = 1
sqrt(-x+10)-x = 2
sqrt(-1+10)-1 = 2
sqrt(9)-1 = 2
3-1 = 2
2 = 2
So x = 1 has been confirmed

Let's check x = -6
sqrt(-x+10)-x = 2
sqrt(-(-6)+10)-(-6) = 2
sqrt(6+10)+6 = 2
sqrt(16)+6 = 2
4+6 = 2
10 = 2
The last equation is false, so x = -6 is extraneous. It's not a true solution

----------------------------------

In summary, the value x = 1 is the only solution

Solve for x^2-2x+1=0
seraphim [82]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-2x+1=0\\

We will start by using the quadratic formula.

\frac{-(-2)+-\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(1)}}{2(1)}

We will simplify that and get:

\frac{-(-2)}{2(1)}

So our answers would be:

x=1

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

T.A. = 16√3 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The total area = the area of the four faces

∵ The four faces are equilateral triangles with side length 4

∵ Area of the equilateral Δ = 1/4 s² √3

∴ T.A. = 4 × 1/4 × 4² × √3 = 16√3 units²
