Given

a\sqrt{x+b}+c=d

we have

\sqrt{x+b}=\dfrac{d-c}{a}

Squaring both sides, we have

x+b=\dfrac{(d-c)^2}{a^2}

And finally

x=\dfrac{(d-c)^2}{a^2}-b

Note that, when we square both sides, we have to assume that

\dfrac{d-c}{a}>0

because we're assuming that this fraction equals a square root, which is positive.

So, if that fraction is positive you'll actually have roots: choose

a=1,\ b=0,\ c=2,\ d=6

and you'll have

\sqrt{x}+2=6 \iff \sqrt{x}=4 \iff x=16

Which is a valid solution. If, instead, the fraction is negative, you'll have extraneous roots: choose

a=1,\ b=0,\ c=10,\ d=4

and you'll have

\sqrt{x}+10=4 \iff \sqrt{x}=-6

Squaring both sides (and here's the mistake!!) you'd have

x=36

which is not a solution for the equation, if we plug it in we have

\sqrt{x}+10=4 \implies \sqrt{36}+10=4 \implies 6+10=4

Which is clearly false

Greatest common factor of 66 and 32
scoundrel [369]

Hey there,

The Greatest Common Factor or the GCF of 66 and 32 would be 2.

Both of the numbers go into 2 and that is the highest common factor the two share.

Hope I helped,

Prove that the two circles shown below are similar. (10 points) Circle C is shown with a center at negative 3, 1 and a radius of
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Well, in reality, all circles are similar to each other. They will all have the same angles, and they don't really have side lengths. So, they are similar.

But to PROVE they are similar, we will transform Circle C to match circle E.

Circle C has a center at (-3, 1), and Circle E has a center of (4, 9). For Circle C to have the same center as Circle E, we will translate Circle C 7 units to the right, and 8 units up.

Since Circle C has a radius of 4, and Circle E has a radius of 3, dilate Circle C by a factor of 3/4. That way, the radius is 3 units as well.

And there you go! The two circles will map perfectly on top of each other.

Hope this helps!
