Answer:

a=-2 is extraneous solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

\frac{3}{a+2}+\frac{2}{a}=\frac{4a-4}{a^2-4}

we have to find the 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 problem.

\frac{3}{a+2}+\frac{2}{a}=\frac{4a-4}{a^2-4}

\frac{3}{a+2}+\frac{2}{a}=\frac{4a-4}{a^2-4}\\\\\frac{3a+2(a+2)}{a(a+2)}=\frac{4(a-1)}{a^2-4}\\\\\frac{5a+5}{a(a+2)}=\frac{4(a-1)}{a^2-4}

On solving, we get

The solution is a=4 and a=-2

Here the solution a=-2 is the valid solution as it makes the denominator 0.

⇒ a=-2 is extraneous solution.

Option 1 is correct.

Directions: Answer true or false. If false, provide a counterexample.
Arisa [49]

Natural numbers are closed under division: false.

A set is closed under a certain operation if the results of that operation are always inside that set.

So, if natural numbers were closed under division, the division of two natural numbers would always be a natural number.

You have plenty of counterexamples, to pick one you may divide any odd number by 2: 5/2 is not a natural number.

Negative numbers are closed under addition: true.

Let m,n be two positive numbers. So, -m,-n are two negative numbers. Their sum is

(-m)+(-n)=-(m+n)

And since m+n is positive, we deduce that -(m+n) is negative, so the sum of two negative numbers is still negative.

Prime numbers are closed under subtraction: false.

This would mean that the subtraction of two primes is also a prime. Again, there are many counterexamples: 7 is prime and so is 3, but their difference 7-3 is 4, which is not prime.
