Eloise started to solve a radical equation in this way: Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 3 = x Square root of negative 2x plu

s 1 − 3 + 3 = x + 3 Square root of negative 2x plus 1 = x + 3 Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 1 = x + 3 − 1 Square root of negative 2 x = x + 2 ( Square root of negative 2 x )2 = (x − 4)2 −2x = x2 − 8x + 16 −2x + 2x = x2 + 8x + 16 + 2x 0 = x2 + 10x + 16 0 = (x + 2)(x + 8) x + 2 = 0 x + 8 = 0 x + 2 − 2 = 0 − 2 x + 8 − 8 = 0 − 8 x = −2 x = −8 Both solutions are extraneous because they don't satisfy the original equation. What error did Eloise make?

 Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 3 = x

 ((-2x+1 ^1/2)-3=x

Eloise procedure

((-2x+1) ^1/2)-3=x------ok

((-2x+1) ^1/2)-3+3=x+3-----ok

((-2x+1) ^1/2)=x+3-----------ok

((-2x+1-1) ^1/2)=x+3-1---------->this is the error

 the correct is ((-2x+1) ^1/2)-1=x+3-1

 I solve correctly

((-2x+1) ^1/2)=x+3------------((-2x+1) ^1/2) ^2=(x+3) ^2

(-2x+1) =(x+3) ^2

-2x+1=x^2+6x+9

 -x^2+8x+8=0

solving the quadratic equation

x1=-6.828

x2=-1.172

<span> the solution is x=-1.172  </span>

see attached graph to check

Eloise made these steps well:
 Square root of negative 2x plus 1 - 3 = x
 Square root of negative 2x plus 1 - 3 + 3 = x + 3
 The error comes in the next step:
 Square root of negative 2x plus 1 = x + 3
 Square root of negative 2x plus 1 -1 = x + 3 - 1
 Square root of negative 2x  = x + 2
 the number one is inside the root, therefore they can not be subtracted.
 answer
 error in the step:
  Square root of negative 2x  = x + 2

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The answer is 16.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Since the 8x is positive, the equation  must have y as a positive number.

Let's see this!

An easy way to complete the square if you have the constants for x2 and

But not the non-variable number is to divide the x constant, and then square it.

Example:

\frac{8x}{2} \\\\4^2=16\\

The last number must be 16. Let's check it.

(x+4)^2=x^2+8x+16

Rearrange y =1/2x+1to make x the subject.
ella [17]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

y =  \frac{1}{2} x + 1 \\

Multiply sides by 2

2 \times y = 2 \times ( \frac{1}{2} x + 1) \\

2y =( 2 \times  \frac{1}{2} x) + (2 \times 1) \\

2y = x + 2

x + 2 = 2y

Subtract sides 2

x + 2 - 2 = 2y - 2

x = 2y - 2

Done...

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Find the total surface area of the<br> following square pyramid:<br> 9 cm<br> 10 cm<br> SA = [?]cm2
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

280 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

1)find the area of square

A=LW

=10×10

=100

2) find the area of triangle

A=B×H÷2

=10×9/2

=45

Coz,there are 4 triangle we multiple by 4

=45×4

=180

3)find the total surface area by adding the two

=100+180

=280cm2
