Remember that <span>an extraneous solution of an equation, is the solution that emerges from solving the equation but is not a valid solution.
 
Lets solve our equation to find out what is the extraneous solution:
</span>\sqrt{x-3} =x-5
(\sqrt{x-3})^2 =(x-5)^2
x-3=x^2-10x+25
x^2-11x+28=0
(x-4)(x-7)=0
x-4=0 and x-7=0
x=4 and x=7
<span>
So, the solutions of our equation are </span>x=4 and x=7. Lets replace each solution in our original equation to check if they are valid solutions:
- For x=7
\sqrt{x-3} =x-5
\sqrt{7-3} =7-5
\sqrt{4} =2
2=2
We can conclude that 7 is a valid solution of the equation.

- For x=4
\sqrt{x-3} =x-5
\sqrt{4-3} =4-5
\sqrt{1} =1
1 \neq 1
We can conclude that 4 is not a valid solution of the equation; therefore, 4 is a extraneous solution.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: <span>D. the extraneous solution is x = 4</span>

Oxana [17]

Answer:

(A) y=1.5

(B)x=\dfrac27

(C)x=2\dfrac23

(D)x=-5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

(A)

3y - 2 = - y + 4\\3y+y=4+2\\4y=6\\y=\dfrac64\\\\y=1.5

(B)

5 - 4x = x + 3 + 2x\\5 - 4x = 3 +3x\\5-3=3x+4x\\7x=2\\x=\dfrac27

(C)

-12 - 9x = - 4 - 12x\\-9x+12x=-4+12\\3x=8\\x=\dfrac83\\\\x=2\dfrac23

(D)- x - 6 + 3x = -2x + 8x + 15

2x-6 = 6x + 15\\2x-6x=15+6\\-4x=21\\x=\dfrac{21}{-4} \\\\x=-5.25

Need help with this if you can explain please do if not then just and answer is okay
pshichka [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x / (x - 7) = 1 + 7 / (x - 7).

The domain of f(x) depends whether the denominator of the rational expression is non-zero.

When (x - 7) = 0, x = 7.

Hence domain of f(x)

= All real values of x excluding 7. (C)
