The rhombus has vertices K(w, 0), M(w, v), and L(u, z). Which of the following could be coordinates of N?

Which statement best reflects the solution(s) of the equation?

x=2 is only solution while x=1 is extraneous solution

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation $\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$ and find values of x.

Solving:

Find the LCM of denominators x-1,x and x-1. The LCM is x(x-1)

Multiply the entire equation with x(x-1)

$\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}\\\frac{1}{x-1}*x(x-1)+\frac{2}{x}*x(x-1)=\frac{x}{x-1}*x(x-1)\\Cancelling\,\,out\,\,the\,\,same\,\,terms:\\x+2(x-1)=x^2\\x+2x-2=x^2\\3x-2=x^2\\x^2-3x+2=0$

Now, factoring the term:

$x^2-2x-x+2=0\\x(x-2)-1(x-2)=0\\(x-1)(x-2)=0\\x-1=0\,\,and\,\, x-2=0\\x=1\,\,and\,\, x=2$

The values of x are x=1 and x=2

Checking for extraneous roots:

Extraneous roots: The root that is the solution of the equation but when we put it in the equation the answer turns out not to be right.

If we put x=1 in the equation, $\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$ the denominator becomes zero i.e

$\frac{1}{1-1}+\frac{2}{1}=\frac{1}{1-1}\\\frac{1}{0}+2=\frac{1}{0}$

which is not correct as in fraction anything divided by zero is undefined. So, x=1 is an extraneous solution.

If we put x=2 in the equation,

$\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$

$\frac{1}{2-1}+\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{2-1}\\\frac{1}{1}+1=\frac{2}{1}\\1+1=2\\2=2$

So, x=2 is only solution while x=1 is extraneous solution

Option C is correct.

What is 5.4e+6 in numbers?

astraxan [27]

Answer:

5,400,000

Step-by-step explanation:

E+ simply means "to the power of" So your question is 5.4*10^6 which would turn out as 5,400,000

Hope this helps!!!

On the map below, all numbered streets run parallel to each other. Both 3rd and 4th streets are intersected by King Avenue.

frosja888 [35]

X=105°

Y=105°

Z=105°

let the angle below 75° which is the 4th Street be A

75°+A=180°[being adjacent angle]

A=105°

X=A[Verticall opposite angle]

Z=A[Corresponding angle]

Y=X[alternate angle]

A will states that 5/6 of an estate is to be divided among relatives of the remaining a state 1/3 goes to the American cancer so

Naddik [55]

Answer:

1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 of an estate is to be divided among relatives

Let the total estate = 1

Remaining estate = 1 - 5/6

= 6-5/6

= 1/6 of the estate

Of the remaining a state 1/3 goes to the American cancer society

what fraction of the estate goes to the American Cancer Society

= 1/3 × 1/6

= 1/18

The fraction of the estate that goes to the American Cancer Society = 1/18
