What is the extraneous solution?

<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.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval based on this sample is =

[6.41, 7.79]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Confidence Interval =

Mean ± z × standard deviation/√n

Sample mean = 7.1 hours

Standard deviation = 5 hours

n = 200 students

z = 95% confidence interval z score

= 1.96

C.I = 7.1 ± 1.96 × 5/√200

C.I = 7.1 ± 0.693

Hence, Confidence Interval

= 7.1 - 0.693

= 6.407

Approximately = 6.41

= 7.1 + 0.693

= 7.793

Approximately = 7.79

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval based on this sample is

[6.41, 7.79]

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

y+1 = -1(x+10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope equation of a line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope  and (x1, y1) is a point on the line

y - -1 = -1 (x --10)

y+1 = -1(x+10)
