Answer:

No extraneous solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

\sqrt{2x+8}=6

Taking square on both sides.

(\sqrt{2x+8})^2=(6)^2

2x+8=36

Subtract 8 from both sides.

2x+8-8=36-8

2x=28

Divide both sides by 2.

x=14

The solution of given equation is 14.

The solutions of an equation are known as extraneous solutions if they are invalid.

Substitute x=14 in the given equation.

\sqrt{2(14)+8}=6

\sqrt{36}=6

6=6

LHS=RHS, so x=14 is a valid solution.

Therefore, the given equation have no extraneous solution.

Answer:

Solution: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

\sqrt{2x+8}=6

In order to solve the equation both sides will be squared

(\sqrt{2x+8})^{2} = (6)^2 \\2x+8 = 36\\2x = 36-8\\2x = 28\\x = 14

Verifying the solution

\sqrt{2(14)+8} = 6\\ \sqrt{28+8} = 6\\\sqrt{36} = 6\\6 = 6

Find the median of the data.<br><br> 12, 10, 14, 9, 8, 9, 15, 15
hram777 [196]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, order the numbers in the given set from least to greatest:

8 , 9 , 9 , 10 , 12 , 14 , 15 , 15

The median is the number found in the middle of the given set. If the amount of numbers in the set are even (as in this case), then you will find the mean of the two middle numbers.

In this case, the middle numbers are 10 & 12:

Find the mean. The mean is found by adding all the numbers together and dividing by the amount of numbers there is:

(10 + 12)/2 = (22)/2 = 11

11 is your median.

Is 16x2 - 16x + 4 a perfect square?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the completing the square method:

16(x^2-x)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2 - (1/2)^2)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2 - 1/4)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2) - 16/4 + 4

=16(x-1/2)^2

=4^2(x-1/2)^2

The product of two square is itself a square.
