What is the solution of x=2+ square root x-2?

So I'm going to assume that this question is asking for <u>non extraneous solutions</u>, or solutions that are found in the equation <em>and</em> are valid solutions when plugged back into the equation. So firstly, subtract 2 on both sides of the equation:

x-2=\sqrt{x-2}

Next, square both sides:

(x-2)^2=x-2\\(x-2)(x-2)=x-2\\x^2-4x+4=x-2

Next, subtract x and add 2 to both sides of the equation:

x^2-5x+6=0

Now we are going to be factoring by grouping to find the solution(s). Firstly, what two terms have a product of 6x^2 and a sum of -5x? That would be -3x and -2x. Replace -5x with -2x - 3x:

x^2-2x-3x+6=0

Next, factor x^2 - 2x and -3x + 6 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:

x(x-2)-3(x-2)=0

Now you can rewrite the equation as (x-3)(x-2)=0

Now, apply the Zero Product Property and solve for x as such:

x-3=0\\x=3\\\\x-2=0\\x=2

Now, it may appear that the answer is C, however we need to plug the numbers back into the original equation to see if they are true as such:

2=2+\sqrt{2-2}\\2=2+\sqrt{0}\\2=2+0\\2=2\ \textsf{true}\\\\3=2+\sqrt{3-2}\\3=2+\sqrt{1}\\3=2+1\\3=3\ \textsf{true}

Since both solutions hold true when x = 2 and x = 3, <u>your answer is C. x = 2 or x = 3.</u>

klasskru [66]
First you have to find the slope by subtracting y2 in this case (2) from y1 (8) dividing it over the subtraction of x2 (-8) and x1 (4) then once you get that you pick a point whether it’s (4,8) or (-8,2), plot it using the slope given to you and you’re done.

Well.. the equation for the interior angles of a polygon is 180(n-2). So it could possibly be 180.


Hope I could help.

Lines Line D E and Line A B are parallel. Lines D E and A B are parallel. Angles B and D are alternate interior angles. Which an
valina [46]

Answer:

a. angles A and C

b. angles B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines are parallel, it implies the value of the angle between them is 180^{0}. Thus the lines can not meet when extended continuously.

Alternate angles are two equal angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal line. Alternate Interior Angles are a pair of equal angles on the inner side of two parallel lines.

Since lines DE and AB are parallel with alternate interior angles at B and D, then angles A and C with angles B and D are alternate interior angles.

i.e         < A = < C (alternate interior angle property)

            <B = < D (alternate interior angle property)
