Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
<u>GCF = 6y^6</u>
Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parenthesis divide each term by the GCF.)
6y^6(24y^8/6y^6 + 6y^6/6y^6)
Simplify each term in parenthesis
<u>6y^6(4y^2 + 1)</u>
15.
0.20*x = 0.01*x + 38 => 0.19*x = 38 =>( 19/100 )*x = 38 => x = 3800/19 => x = 200.
Given

we have

Squaring both sides, we have

And finally

Note that, when we square both sides, we have to assume that

because we're assuming that this fraction equals a square root, which is positive.
So, if that fraction is positive you'll actually have roots: choose

and you'll have

Which is a valid solution. If, instead, the fraction is negative, you'll have extraneous roots: choose

and you'll have

Squaring both sides (and here's the mistake!!) you'd have

which is not a solution for the equation, if we plug it in we have

Which is clearly false
