Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An extraneous solution is a solution that's not really a solution. In other words, you work out the problem and you obtain a solution. Then you test your solution by plugging in your solution to the formula given, if the result is false then it's considered an extraneous solution.

For example, if you're solving for time it took for a football to reach the ground after somebody threw it, you would obtain two answers for time. These time answers are negative time and positive time, well the negative time makes no sense since it's before you threw the ball so we would consider that negative solution to be extraneous.

Change fraction ( 11/4) from an improper fraction to a mixed number.

Answer:

Have a nice day :)

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 11/4 into a mixed number, we need to divide 11 by 4 and get the values of quotient and remainder after performing division. When we divide 11/4, we get 2 as the quotient and 3 as the remainder. Now use the calculator to convert the following improper fractions to mixed fractions: 45/6

The points (3, 9) and (–3, –9) are plotted on the coordinate plane using the equation y = a • x. What is the value of a? Enter y

Masja [62]

So fill out the coordinate with those given numbers, and count how far apart they are and you will get your answer. Then times it by x.

F(x) = x^2 is compressed vertically by a factor of 2 and shifted 2 units to the left.

mr_godi [17]

F(x) = 1/2(x+2)^2
1/2 compresses while the +2 INSIDE the parenthesis shifts the parental function (f(x)=x^2) to the left two units.
