The radical equation is \sqrt{x+6}-5=x+1.


i) We first isolate the square root, adding 5 to both sides of the equation: 
       
                                        \sqrt{x+6}=x+6.

ii) Here let's substitute x+6 with t. Doing so we have:
 
                                         \sqrt{t}=t.

Squaring both sides, we get:
                       
                                               t=t^2

iii) Collecting the variables on the same side, and factorizing t we have:
 
                                               t(t-1)=0, which yields

                              t=0    or       t=1.

Now we solve for x in x+6=t:

x+6=0 ⇒x=-6       and x+6=1⇒x=-5.


iv) Now we check these values in the original equation  \sqrt{x+6}=x+6 :

a) \sqrt{-6+6}=-6+6. ⇒ 0=0 ; Correct.


b) \sqrt{-5+6}=-5+6. ⇒ 1=1 ; Correct.

The Coffee Counter charges ​$8.00 per pound for Kenyan French Roast coffee and ​$10.00 per pound for Sumatran coffee. How much o
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

x = 9

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Let :

Kenyan French roast coffee = x

Cost per x = $8

Sumatran Coffee = y

Cost per y = $10

x + y = 18 - - - - (1)

8x + 10y = 9 * 18 ;

8x + 10y = 162 - - - - (2)

From (1):

x = 18 - y

Put x = 18 - y in (2)

8(18 - y) + 10y = 162

144 - 8y + 10y = 162

2y = 162 - 144

2y = 18

y = 9

x = 18 - y

x = 18 - 9

x = 9

What is a differential equation
pickupchik [31]
A differential equation is one that contains the derivative of a function.  For example f(x) + 3 = 4f'(x) - 2.  Usually you will be given one of the functions and initial conditions if you have to solve.

I need help ASAP.... please help....
avanturin [10]

Answer:

(7x-1)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

7x^2 - 22x + 3

The factors have to add to -22, but multiply to equal 3. But since the "a" value has a number on it, you have to use it too.

(7x +/- [n1]) ( x +/- [n2]) = 7x^2 - 22x + 3

Since the two numbers multiply to a positive value, they have to have the same sign. (7x-1) (x-3) works to produce the expression when it's foiled.
