Answer:

x = 3 is extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sqrt{4x-8} = x - 5 ( square both sides to clear the radical )

4x - 8 = (x - 5)² ← expand using FOIL

4x - 8 = x² - 10x + 25 ( subtract 4x - 8 from both sides )

0 = x² - 14x + 33 ← in standard form

0 = (x - 11)(x - 3) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 11 = 0 ⇒ x = 11

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

As a check

Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are solutions

x = 11

left side = \sqrt{44-8} = \sqrt{36} = 6

right side = 11 - 5 = 6

Thus x = 11 is a solution

x = 3

left side = \sqrt{12-8} = \sqrt{4} = 2

right side = 3 - 5 = - 2 ≠ 2

Thus x = 3 is an extraneous solution

Stells [14]

Answer:

when Y = 2, P(2) = 1/6 = 0.167

when Y = 3, P(3) = 2/6 = 0.333

when Y = 4, P(4) = 3/6 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of possible ways to choose 2 components for defectives out of 4 components = 4C2 = 6

Y can only take values of 2, 3 and 4

So, Probability of Y = P(Y) = 1C(Y-1) / 6

when Y = 2, P(2) = 1/6 = 0.167

when Y = 3, P(3) = 2/6 = 0.333

when Y = 4, P(4) = 3/6 = 0.5

The diagram shows a logo​
Charra [1.4K]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find EC using Cosine Rule:

EC² = DC² + DE² - 2*DC*DE*cos(D)

EC² = 27² + 14² - 2*27*14*cos(32)

EC² = 925 - 756*cos(32)

EC² = 283.875639

EC = √283.875639

EC = 16.85 cm

✔️Find the area of ∆DCE:

Area = ½*14*27*sin(32)

Area of ∆DCE = 100.15 cm²

✔️Since ∆DCE and ∆ABE are congruent, therefore,

Area of ∆ABE = 100.15 cm²

✔️Find the area of the sector:

Area of sector = 105/360*π*16.85²

Area = 260.16 cm² (nearest tenth)

✔️Therefore,

Area of the logo = 100.15 + 100.15 + 260.16 = 460.46 ≈ 460 cm² (to 2 S.F)
