Using the equation below as a model, fill in numbers in the place of a and b to create a rational equation that has an extraneou

s solution.
x plus a over ax = b over x

Part 1. Show all work to solve for x in the equation and check the solution.

Part 2. Explain how to identify the extraneous solution and what it means.

Lets solve the equation step by step:

(x + a)/ax = b/x

therefore: a != 0, x !=0

now we solve:

<span>(x + a)/ax = b/x
</span><span>(x + a)/a = b
</span>x + a = ab
x = a(b - 1)

that is the solution for b, and we keep in mind that <span>a != 0, x !=0, the extraneous solutions

Which set is closed under the operation multiplication?
oee [108]
I have another set of choices here:

A. {0.5, 1, 2} 


B. {1, 2, 4} 


C. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 


<span>D. {0} 
</span>
If you multiply two numbers from a closed set the answer is in the set. 
<span>So A is not closed because 2 x 2 = 4 which isn't in the set. Only 0.5, 1, and 2 are in set A. </span>

<span>Try multiplying the largest numbers in sets B, C, and D by themselves. You will soon discover the closed set.</span>

A researcher is interested in the lengths of Salvelinus fontinalis (brook trout), which are known to be approximately Normally d
kompoz [17]

Answer:

c. 0.1151

Step-by-step explanation:

d) the probability that, on average, fish are larger than 86 centimeters in length.The area under part of a normal probability curve is  directly proportional to probability and the value is calculated as

z = (x₁−x) /σ

where z = propability of normal curve

x₁ = variate mean = 86cm

x = mean of 80cm

σ = standard deviation = 5cm

applying the formula,

z= (86-80)/5

z = 6/5 =1.2

Using a table of partial areas beneath the standardized normal curve (see Table of normal curve, a z-value of 1.2 corresponds to an area of 0.3849 between the mean value. but, because the standard curve has 0.5, then will minus 0.3849 from 0.5= 0.5 - 0.3849 = 0.1151

Thus the probability of a fish are larger than 86 centimeters in length is 0.1151
