X=1 would be extraneous as in both sides of original equation, it would be an asymptote

<u>Solution-</u>

The equation given here,

\frac{1}{x-1} =\frac{x-2}{2x^2-2}

\Rightarrow 2x^2-2=(x-1)(x-2)

\Rightarrow 2x^2-2=x^2-3x+2

\Rightarrow x^2+3x-4=0

\Rightarrow x^2 +4x-x-4=0

\Rightarrow (x-1)(x+4)=0

\Rightarrow x=1 \ and -4

But, at x=1, \frac{1}{x-1} \ and \ \frac{x-2}{2x^2-2} becomes infinity so it can't be a solution to the equation.

∴ x=1 is the extraneous solution of the equation

PLEASE HELP URGENTLY! ASAP RIGHT ANSWERS WILL BE MARKED BRAINLIEST!!!
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the circumference of a circle is 2rπ

the formula for the area of a circle is (r^2)π

the formula for the diameter of a circle is 2r

π=3.14

---------------------------------------------------------------

1. diameter =2r.    since diameter=24, r=12

2. circumference=2rπ.     since circumference = 314.     314=2rπ       r=49.9746

3. circumference=2rπ                                           area=(r^2)π

   since r=7, circumference=14π=43.98229      since r=7, area is 49π=153.9380

4. Since the diameter is 20 the radius is 10. so just insert it into the formulas as before:    circumference=20π=62.8318 and area=100π=314.15926

5.  the formula for the diameter is 2r=d        2(18)=d,    36=d

6. 2rπ=circumference = 2(5)π=10π=31.415926

Hope that helps :)
