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

Input the equation of the given line in slope intercept form. The line through 1,0 and parallel to x-y=7
Crank
X - y = 7
y = x - 7....the slope here is 1. A parallel line will have the same slope.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1
(1,0)...x = 1 and y = 0
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
0 = 1(1) + b
0 = 1 + b
-1 = b

so ur parallel line is : y = x - 1

Arithmetic sequence help!!!!
andrew-mc [135]

a₅ = 10

a₁₀ = 20

a₁₅ = x

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that from a₅ to a₁₀, there is a addition of 10. This means that for every x(₅) jump, you add 10 to the whole number.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So in this case:

a₁₀ = 20

a₁₅ = x

a₁₀ (+₅) = 20 (+10)

a₁₅ = 20 + 10

a₁₅ = 30

Note that: a₁₅ = x = 30

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

x = 30, or (A) is your answer

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hope this helps

Suppose you have entered 79​-mile biathlon that consists of a run and a bicycle race. During your​ run, your average velocity is
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The distance of the run is 10 miles

The distance of the bicycle race is 69 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

  • r = the distance for the run
  • 79 - r = the distance for the bicycle race
  • t = the time of the run
  • 5 - t = the time of the bicycle race

The run: r = 5t

The bicycle race: 79 - r = 23(5 - t)

Simplify the bicycle race:

  • 79 - r = 115 - 23t
  • -r = 36 - 23t
  • r = 23t - 36

Now we have two equations set up for r

  • r = 5t
  • r = 23t - 36

We know that r = r, so 5t must equal 23t - 36

  • 5t = 23t - 36
  • 5t + 36 = 23t
  • 36 = 18t
  • t = 2

Now we know that the run took 2 hours.

Plug it back into the equation for the run to find the distance for the run

  • r = 5t
  • r = 5(2)
  • r = 10

The run is 10 miles

To solve for the bicycle race, we simply subtract 10 from 79, because we know that the two distances combined are 79.

  • 79 - 10 = 69

The bicycle race is 69 miles.

After one month, Devon finds that his 10 friends slept an average of 0.5 hour more each night when they drank milk before bed. B
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

He did not test it against anyone who did not drink milk before bed and he tested it on a relatively small number of people. In order to have more accurate results he should include more people in the study and should test it against the same number of people who haven't drank milk before bed. He should also take into account the amount of milk that they drank before going to bed.
