What is the extraneous solution?

Mathematics

<h3>Answer:</h3>

  x = 1

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<em>The only solution is an extraneous solution</em>, which is to say the equation has no solution.

The rational expression reduces to -1 (for x≠1), which makes the equation ...

  1 = 1/x

The only solution to this is x=1, which is specifically disallowed.

___

If you subtract the right side, the equation becomes ...

  ((-x+1)(x) +2(x)(x -1) -(x -1))/(x -1) = 0

  (-x^2 +x +2x^2 -2x -x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses in the numerator

  (x^2 -2x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  (x -1)^2/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

This is undefined for the only value of x that could possibly be a solution, x=1.

Is the answer 3, 4, 5, or 6? need answer asap please! :)

Don't touch the center. It is already even. 
Start anywhere by connecting a dotted line from one vertex to the next. To keep things so we know what we are talking about, go clockwise. Now you have 2 points that are Eulerized that were not before.

Skip and edge and do the same thing to the next two vertices. Those two become eulerized. Skip an edge and do the last 2.

Let's try to describe this better. Start at any vertex and number them 1 to 6 clockwise.
Join 1 to 2 
Join 3 to 4
Join 5 to 6

I think 3 is the minimum.

Answer:

4x^2+17x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x-3)(x+5)

= 4x(x+5) -3(x+5)

= 4x^2+ 20x -3x + 15

= 4x^2 + 17x + 15
