We can plug those values into the equation, and if the answer is incorrect, we'll know if either one is extraneous.

√11 - 2(-7) = √(-7)^2 + 4(-7) + 4

√25 = √25

5 = 5

The first solution, -7, makes the equation true, and so it is not extraneous.

√11 - 2(1) = √(1)^2 + 4(1) + 4

√9 = √9

3 = 3

The second solution, 1, makes the equation true, and so it is also not extraneous.

<h3>The correct option is D, neither solution is extraneous. </h3>

Solve for x<br> 3x + 6 over 3 = 6

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

X= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+6/3=6

multiply each side by 3 to get rid of the fraction bar

3x+6=6*3

3x +6=18

-6 from both sides

3x= 18-6

3x=12

divide by three on both sides to solve for x

x=12/3

x=4

A conical tent made of canvas has a base that is 34 feet across and a slant height of 12 feet to the nearest whole unit what is

RideAnS [48]

Check the picture below.

$\bf \textit{total surface area of a cone}\\\\
SA=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\pi r^2~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-------\\
r=17\\
\sqrt{r^2+h^2}=12
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
SA=\pi (17)(12)+\pi (17)^2\implies SA=204\pi +289\pi \implies SA=493\pi$
