Solve the radical equation.

Mathematics

Answer:

There are no extraneous solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(8x+9) = x+2

Square each side

(sqrt(8x+9))^2 = (x+2)^2

8x+9 =  (x+2)^2

FOIL

8x+9 = x^2 +2x+2x+4

Combine like term

8x+9 = x^2 +4x+4

Subtract 8x from each side

8x-8x+9 = x^2 +4x-8x+4

9 = x^2 -4x+4

Subtract 9 from each side

0 = x^2 -4x-5

Factor

0=(x-5) (x+1)

Using the zero product property\

x-5 =0  x+1=0

x=5   x=-1

Check the solutions

x=5

sqrt(8*5+9) = 5+2

sqrt(40+9) = 5+2

sqrt(49) =7

7=7

x=-1

sqrt(8*(-1)+9) = -1+2

sqrt(-8+9) = -1+2

sqrt(1) =1

1=1

Both solutions are true solutions

Answer:

there are no extraneous solutions to the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sqrt{8x+9} = x + 2 ( square both sides )

8x + 9 = (x + 2)² ← expand

8x + 9 = x² + 4x + 4 ( subtract 8x + 9 from both sides )

0 = x² - 4x - 5 ← in standard form

0 = (x - 5)(x + 1) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

As a check

Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions.

x = 5 : \sqrt{8(5)+9} = \sqrt{49} = 7

right side = 5 + 2 = 7

left side = right side ⇒ x = 5 is a solution

x = - 1 : \sqrt{8(-1)+9} = \sqrt{1} = 1

right side = - 1 + 2 = 1

left side = right side ⇒ x = - 1 is a solution

There are no extraneous solutions

A scale drawing of a bedroom is shown below. The scale is 1 : 30.
ladessa [460]

Answer: 75 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

     The scale means that for every one unit in the scale drawing, it is 30 units in the actual room. We will convert the dimensions using proportions.

\frac{1}{3} =\frac{30}{x}

x = 90

-

\frac{1}{4} =\frac{30}{x}

x = 120

   The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the length by the width:

A = L * W

A = 90 * 120

A = 10,800 inches²

 To get this into square feet, we will divide by 144. Why? There are 12 inches in a foot. 12 times 12 is 144.

10,800 inches² / 144 = 75 feet²

           The area of the room, in square feet, is 75 feet².

Write an equation for the graph below in terms of x
monitta

Answer:

x = y/2 - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the slope-intercept form of a line first, then change to terms of 'x'

y = mx + b    where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept

if we use two points on the line, such as (-1, -1) (0, 1), we can find the slope

m = 1-(-1) / 0-(-1)

m = 2/1

b = 1

Slope-Intercept form:  y = 2x + 1

in terms of 'x':

2x = y - 1

x = y/2 - 1/2

I need help plzzzzzzzzzzzz. I need you guys to show work too
Softa [21]

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>—Math</h2>

√(x+3) –4 = 1

√(x+3) = 1 +4

√(x+3) = 5

x + 3 = 5²

x = 25 –3

x = 22

Gre4nikov [31]

\mathsf{1.\; \frac{x - 6}{2} = x + 13}

⇒ x - 6 = 2x + 26

⇒ x = -32

⇒ This Equation has One Solution

So, It matches with A in Column B

2. 2 + 6x - 7 = 8 + 2x - 10 + 4x

⇒ 6x - 5 = 6x - 2

As, They are Equations of Parallel Lines. They never meet each other.

⇒ This Equation has No Solution

⇒ So, It matches with B in Column B

3. 15x + 25 = 15x + 10

As, They are Equations of Parallel Lines. They never meet each other.

⇒ This Equation has No Solution

⇒ So, It matches with B in Column B

4. 16 + 8x = 4(2x + 4)

⇒ 16 + 8x = 16 + 8x

As, Both Equations are Same. They Represent the Same Line.

⇒ This Equation has Infinite Number of Solutions

⇒ So, It matches with C in Column B
