what is the solution of sqrt(2x+4)-sqrt(x)=2 A. x = 0 B. x = 0 and x = 16 C. x = 0 and x = –16 D. x = 16 and x = –16
2 answers:
We want to solve
√(2x+4) - √(x) = 2
Write equation as
√(2x+4) = √x + 2
Square each side.
2x + 4 = x + 4√x + 4
x = 4√x
x - 4√x = 0
√x (√x - 4) = 0
Either
√x = 0 => x = 0
or
√x = 4 => x = 16
Test for extraneous solutions.
When x = 0:
√(2x+4) - √x = 2 (Correct)
When x = 16:
√(2x+4) - √x = √(36) - √(16) = 6 - 4 = 2 (Correct)
A plot of f(x) = √(2x+4) - √x - 2 = 0 confirms hat the solutions are correct.
Answer: B. x = 0 and x = 16.

Answer: 30x⁴
Step-by-step explanation:
2x⁴ + (-3x²)² + 10(x²)² + (-3x²)²
2x⁴ + (9x⁴) + 10 (x⁴) + (9x⁴)
2x⁴ + 9x⁴ + 10x⁴ + 9x⁴
2x⁴ + 10x⁴ 9x⁴ + 9x⁴
12x⁴ + 18x⁴
30x⁴
(-x)² = x²
