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>

The mass of a penny was measured six times. The following data was reported:
Scrat [10]

Answer:

a) 8.103 g

b) 9.2948

c) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Data reported:

9.314 g, 9.215 g, 9.323 g, 8.103 g, 9.278 g, and 9.344 g

Now,

All the values except the 8.103 are above 9

Here the data 8.103 varies very much with respect to the other values

Hence,

a) the data 8.103 should be excluded

b) average value of the mass of the penny = \frac{9.314 + 9.215 + 9.323 + 9.278 + 9.344 }{5}

= 9.2948 g

c) Deviation = Mean - Data

9.2948 - 9.314 = -0.0192

9.2948 - 9.215 = 0.0798

9.2948 - 9.323 = -0.0282

9.2948 - 9.278 = 0.0168

9.2948 - 9.344 = -0.0492

Thus,

Average deviation from mean = tex]\frac{-0.0192 + 0.0798 -0.0282 + 0.0168 -0.0492 }{5}[/tex]

= 0

Which situation can be modeled by the equation y=3x+25
Gnesinka [82]

For this case we have the following situation:

The monthly cost of a gym in the city is $ 3. The initial registration is $ 25. Write a mathematical expression that models the problem.

So we have to define variables:

x: number of months

y: total cost

The mathematical expression that models the problem is:

y = 3x + 25

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex finally understands how Bob was trying to trick him into winning the bet because of how he puts in the condition for probability being less than 10%. Whichever way the outcome of the coin toss turns out to be, it will be in Bob's favor and Alex will lose the bet. If the coin is flipped 3 times, the probability of having heads exactly twice is \frac{4}{9}
