Is the solution of this equation extraneous?

Answer:

x = - 3 is extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sqrt{x+7} - 1 = x  ( add 1 to both sides )

\sqrt{x+7} = x + 1 ( square both sides )

x + 7 = (x + 1)² ← distribute right side

x + 7 = x² + 2x + 1 ( subtract x + 7 from both sides )

0 = x² + x - 6 ← in standard form

0 = (x + 3)(x - 2) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

As a check

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

x = - 3 : \sqrt{-3+7} - 1 = \sqrt{4} - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1 ≠ - 3

x = 2 : \sqrt{2+7} - 1  = \sqrt{9} - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2

x = 2 is a solution and x = - 3 is extraneous

Two figures are similar with a scale factor of 5/2.
aev [14]

Answer:

If we have two figures, F and F'

Such that if we start with F, and dilate it with a scale factor K, we get F'.

We will have:

All the measures of F', are K times the correspondent measures of F.

Then if F has  s₁, s₂, ..., sₙ sides, the sides of F' will be:

K*s₁, K*s₂, ..., K*sₙ

The ratio between correspondent sides will be equal to K

The ratio between perimeters will also be equal to K (because the perimeter is the sum of all the sides of each figure, so we can just take K as a common factor)

In the case of the area, because we usually multiply a measure by another, a factor K^2 will  appear, and the quotient between the areas is K^2

And finally, for the volumes, the ratio will be K^3

a) The ratio of corresponding lengths is K, in this case is 5/2

b) The ratio of the perimeters is K, in this case is 5/2

c) The ratio of the areas is K^2, in this case is (5/2)^2 = 25/4

d) The ratio of the areas is K^3, in this case is (5/2)^3 = 125/8

e) Two figures are similar if the figures have the same shape, then the corresponding angles are exactly the same, then the ratio of corresponding angle measures is 1.
