Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

√(2x − 1) + 2 = x

√(2x − 1) = x − 2

2x − 1 = (x − 2)²

2x − 1 = x² − 4x + 4

0 = x² − 6x + 5

0 = (x − 1) (x − 5)

x = 1 or 5

Check for extraneous solutions.

√(2(1) − 1) + 2 = 1

√(1) + 2 = 1

3 = 1

No solution

√(2(5) − 1) + 2 = 5

√(9) + 2 = 5

5 = 5

x = 5

Orlov [11]

Answer: 0.9332.

Step-by-step explanation:

Claim : College Algebra final exam score of engineering majors equal to 88.

Given that : The test statistic is z equals to 1.50.

To find the p-value (Probability value), we use standard normal distribution table, and search the p-value corresponds to the z-score.

In a Standard Normal Distribution Table below, the p-value corresponds z equals 1.5 is 0.9332.

Hence, the p-value is 0.9332.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 2 : x + 3 = 0 and x - 5 = 0 ← correct

step 3

x = 3 and x = - 5 ← error made here with signs, correct statement should be
