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

Find a point on the y-axis that is equidistant from the points (7, −7) and (1, 1).
jeka57 [31]
Hello : 
<span>a point on the y-axis is : P( 0, y)
</span>PA = PB  or  PA² = PB².... A(7, -7)    B(1,1)
(7-0)²+(-7-y)² = (1-0)² + (1-y)²
49+49+14y+y² = 1+1-2y+y²
16y = - 96
y= - 6
