QUESTION 1

We want to solve,

\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-6x+8}

We factor the denominator of the fraction on the right hand side to get,

\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-4x - 2x+8}.

This implies
\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x(x-4) - 2(x - 4)}.

\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{(x-4)(x - 2)}

We multiply through by LCM of
(x-4)(x - 2)

(x - 2) + x(x-4) = 2

We expand to get,

x - 2 + {x}^{2} - 4x= 2

We group like terms and equate everything to zero,

{x}^{2} + x - 4x - 2 - 2 = 0

We split the middle term,

{x}^{2} + - 3x - 4 = 0

We factor to get,

{x}^{2} + x - 4x- 4 = 0

x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1) = 0

(x + 1)(x - 4) = 0

x + 1 = 0 \: or \: x - 4 = 0

x = - 1 \: or \: x = 4

But
x = 4
is not in the domain of the given equation.

It is an extraneous solution.

\therefore \: x = - 1
is the only solution.

QUESTION 2

\sqrt{x+11} -x=-1

We add x to both sides,

\sqrt{x+11} =x-1

We square both sides,

x + 11 = (x - 1)^{2}

We expand to get,

x + 11 = {x}^{2} - 2x + 1

This implies,

{x}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0

We solve this quadratic equation by factorization,

{x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0

x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0

(x + 2)(x - 5) = 0

x + 2 = 0 \: or \: x - 5 = 0

x = - 2 \: or \: x = 5

But
x = - 2
is an extraneous solution

\therefore \: x = 5

Evaluate (98 x 102) by using suitable identities.
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The answer is 9996

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the identity (x+a)(x+b) = x  ^2  +(a+b)x+ab

Writing 102 as 100+2 and 98 as 100−2

Hence (100+2)(100−2) = 100  ^2  +[2+(−2)]100+(2)(−2)

= 10000+(0)100−4

= 9996

The answer is 9996

What is the mean of Variable A? Express answer to one decimal place. Scatter plot on a first quadrant coordinate grid. The horiz
ivanzaharov [21]
Variable A is x. Variable B is y. (x,y)

2 , 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Mean is computed by adding all the numbers in the data set and dividing it by its count.

2 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 43

43 / 8 = 5.375 rounded to 5.4
