Answer:

$x=-1,5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-4x-5=0$

In order to solve this quadratic, we have many methods. We can factor, complete the square, or use the quadratic formula. I'm going to factor since it's the easiest method.

To factor, find two numbers that when multiplied equal a(c) and when added equal b.

a=1, b=-4, and c=-5.

So we want two numbers that when multiplied equals 1(-5)=-5 and when added equals -4.

-5 and 1 are the possible numbers. Therefore:

$x^2-4x-5=0\\x^2+x-5x-5=0\\x(x+1)-5(x+1)=0\\(x-5)(x+1)=0\\x=5, -1$

Consider the functions f and g defined by \[f(x) = \sqrt{\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}}\qquad\qquad\text{and}\qquad\qquad g(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The given functions are not same because the domain of both functions are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are

$f(x)= \sqrt{\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}}$

$g(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt{x+1}}{\sqrt{x-1}}$

First find the domain of both functions. Radicand can not be negative.

Domain of f(x):

$\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}>0$

This is possible if both numerator or denominator are either positive or negative.

Case 1: Both numerator or denominator are positive.

$x+1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq -1$

$x-1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq 1$

So, the function is defined for x≥1.

Case 2: Both numerator or denominator are negative.

$x+1\leq 0\Rightarrow x\leq -1$

$x-1\leq 0\Rightarrow x\leq 1$

So, the function is defined for x≤-1.

From case 1 and 2 the domain of the function f(x) is (-∞,-1]∪[1,∞).

Domain of g(x):

$x+1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq -1$

$x-1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq 1$

So, the function is defined for x≥1.

So, domain of g(x) is [1,∞).

Therefore, the given functions are not same because the domain of both functions are different.

How many solutions does an equation have when you isolate the variable and it equals a constant?

OLEGan [10]

1 solution is available when variable equals a constant.

Answer: Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

You will be able to determine if an equation has one solution (which is when one variable equals one number), or if it has no solution (the two sides of the equation are not equal to each other) or infinite solutions (the two sides of the equation are identical).

The ordered pair that is the solution of both equations is the solution of the system. A system of two linear equations can have one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solution. If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent.
