Why is it important to check all solutions to radical equations?

When a power is taken on both sides of an equation, the resulting solutions might not check in the original radical equation. These are called extraneous solutions. You must check solutions by substituting in the values into the original equation and verifying that it produces a true statement.

Hello.

The solutions found to radical equations are not necessarily viable. They sometimes result in inequalities, and have to be checked.

Hope I helped.

For some constants a and b let \[f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{cl} 9 - 2x & \text{if } x \le 3, \\ ax + b & \text{if } x

Viktor [21]

Answer:

The value of a+b is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{cl} 9 - 2x & \text{if } x \le 3, \\ ax + b & \text{if } x > 3. \end{array} \right.$

It is given that for some constants a and b the function f has the property that f(f(x))=x for all x.

For x≤3,

$f(x)=9-2x$

For x>3,

$f(x)=ax+b$

At x=0,

$f(0)=9-2(0)=9$

$f(f(0))=f(9)\Rightarrow a(9)+b=9a+b$

Using property f(f(x))=x,

$f(f(0))=0$

$9a+b=0$ .... (1)

At x=1,

$f(1)=9-2(1)=7$

$f(f(1))=f(7)\Rightarrow a(7)+b=7a+b$

Using property f(f(x))=x,

$f(f(1))=1$

$7a+b=1$ .... (2)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (1).

$9a+b-(7a+b)=0-1$

$2a=-1$

Divide both sides by 2.

$a=-\frac{1}{2}$

Substitute this value in equation (1).

$9(-\frac{1}{2})+b=0$

$b=\frac{9}{2}$

The value of a is $-\frac{1}{2}$ and value of b is $\frac{9}{2}$ . The value of a+b is

$a+b=-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{9}{2}$

$a+b=4$

Therefore the value of a+b is 4.
