Radical Equation:

1. Isolate the radical expression.

2. Square both sides of the equation: If x = y then x2 = y2.

3. Once the radical is removed, solve for the unknown.

4. Check all answers.

Another way of saying it:

1. Isolate the radical expression involving the variable. ...

2. Raise both sides of the equation to the index of the radical.

3. If there is still a radical equation, repeat steps 1 and 2; otherwise, solve the resulting equation and check the answer in the original equation.

Question 4:
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

a. Jacques will be 46.4m below the surface and his assistant will be 78.1m below the surface.

b. 10 minutes

c. 6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation for Justin's motion be J(x)=-13.9-7.5x (where J(x) is his distance from the surface in metres and x is time in minutes), because he starts off 13.9m below the surface and descends 7.5m every minutes.

Let the equation for the assistant be a(x)=-97.3=+6.4x (where a(x) is his distance from the surface in metres and x is time in minutes), because he starts off 97.3m below the surface and ascends 6.4m every minutes.

a.

J(x)=-13.9-7.5x

J(3)=-13.9-7.5(3)=-13.9-22.5=-36.4

a(x)=-97.3=+6.4x

a(3)=-97.3+6.4(3)=-97.3+19.2=-78.1

b.

a(x)=-97.3=+6.4x

-33.3=-97.3=+6.4x

64=6.4x

x=10

c.

when divers are at the same depth, J(x)=a(x)

J(x)=a(x)

-13.9-7.5x=-97.3=+6.4x

83.4=13.9x

x=6
