Solve equation, check for extraneous solutions

Start with

1=\dfrac{1}{n^2}+\dfrac{n^2-4n-5}{3n^2}

We observe that both fractions are not defined if n=0. So, we will assume n \neq 0.

We multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and we sum the two fractions:

1=\dfrac{3}{3n^2}+\dfrac{n^2-4n-5}{3n^2} = \dfrac{n^2-4n-2}{3n^2}

We multiply both sides by 3n^2:

n^2-4n-2=3n^2

We move everything to one side and solve the quadratic equation:

2n^2+4n+2=0 \iff 2(n^2+2n+1)=0 \iff 2(n+1)^2=0 \iff n+1=0 \iff n=-1

We check the solution:

1=\dfrac{1}{1}+\dfrac{1+4-5}{3} \iff 1 = 1+0

which is true

PLEASE HELP!!!!! What is the value of x in the matrix equation below?
Brums [2.3K]

The given matrix equation is,

1.5\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&6\\8&4\end{array}\right] +y\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&4\\3&2\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right].

Multiplying the matrices with the scalars, the given equation becomes,

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x&9\\12&6\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}y&4y\\3y&2y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right]  \\

Adding the matrices,

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x+y&9+4y\\12+3y&6+2y\end{array}\right]  =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right]  \\

Matrix equality gives,

1.5x+y=z\\ 9+4y=z\\ 12+3y=6z\\ 6+2y=2

Solving the equations together,

y=-2\\ 3y-1.5x=9\\ -1.5x=9+6\\ x=-10

We can see that the equations are not consistent.

There is no solution.

A boardwalk that is x feet wide is built around a rectangular pond. The combined area of the pond and the boardwalk is 4x^2+140x
Archy [21]
So when X is 0, the area of the pool is 1200. That makes A and C impossible... then you can plug in numbers...say the boardwalk is 1 ft wide, add 2 to each dimension and plug in 1 for X. (You're adding 2 because there is a tile on either side of each dimension, including corners).

32x42=1344=4+140+1200

Therefore the answer is B.
