Answer:

3. x = 4, NOT extraneous

4. x=12, extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

3. Solve for x, √(2x +1) = 3 and identify if it's an extraneous solution or not.

Since the square root is already isolated on its side, the first step is to put both sides to their square value to get rid of the square root. We then get:

2x + 1 = 9 => 2x = 8 => x = 4

To see if x = 4 is an extraneous solution, we enter it in the original equation and see if it works:

√(2x +1) = √(2 * 4 +1) = √9 = 3

3 equals 3... so it's NOT an extraneous solution

4. Solve for x, -4√(x-3) = 12 and identify if it's an extraneous solution or not.

This time the square root isn't alone on its side yet... so we have to isolate it, by dividing each side by -4:

-4√(x-3) = 12 becomes √(x-3) = -3

Then we raise each side to their square value to get rid of the square root:

x - 3 = 9 which becomes x = 12

To see if x = 12 is an extraneous solution, we enter it in the original equation and see if it works:

-4√(x-3) = -4√(12-3) = -4√(9) = -4 (3) = -12

-12 does not equal 12... so it's an extraneous solution

Diego is buying candy by the pound. For every 10 pounds, he pays $23. What is the cost per pound?

Yakvenalex [24]

10 pounds = 23 $
1 pound = 2$ and 30 cts

Just divide by ten.

Answer:

$(x-230)^2+(y-220)^2=6100$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a circle is $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ , where $(h,k)$ is the vertex of the circle and $r$ is the radius. Immediately, since the center of the circle is given, we know what $h$ and $k$ are. $h$ is 230 and $k$ is 220.

The only thing we need to find is the radius, which will just be the distance from the center (230,220) to a point on the circumference (170,170). The distance between them can be calculated using the <u>distance formula</u>, which is really just the <u>Pythagorean Theorem</u> rearranged. The formula states that $d=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ , where $x$ is the change in the x-coordinates of the two points and $y$ is the change in the y-coordinates of the two points. Plug-in $x$ for 60 and $y$ for 50 to get $d=\sqrt{50^2+60^2}$ . Solve for $d$ , arriving at $\sqrt{6100}$ . Therefore, the radius of the circle is $\sqrt{6100}$ .
