Answer:

C. There is only one solution: x = 2. The solution x = 1 is an extraneous solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation is:

\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}\\\frac{x}{x(x-1)}+\frac{2(x-1)}{x(x-1)}=\frac{x}{x-1}\\\frac{x+2x-2}{x(x-1)}=\frac{x}{x-1}\\\frac{3x-2}{x}=x\\ 3x-2=x^2\\x^2-3x+2=0

Now, we solve this quadratic equation by factoring.

x^2-3x+2=0\\(x-2)(x-1)=0\\x=2\textrm{ or }x=1

Now, x=1 is an extraneous solution as at x equal to 1, the equation is undefined.

Therefore, x=2 is the only solution. The solution x=1 is an extraneous solution.

Find the mean and median for the graph?
netineya [11]

Answer:

so from looking at this we can see there is

0=5

1=5

2=3

3=2

4=4

5=1

6=2

7=2

8=1

9=1

now we have to add them up

5+6+16+5+12+14+8+9=75

and now we have to add up the total plots on the chart

5+5+3+2+4+1+2+2+1+1=26

now we divide

75 divided by 26=2.88461538462

so 2.9 is the mean

now we add up the number from least to greatest

0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,4,4,4,4,5,6,6,7,7,8,9

so the medien is 4

Hope This Helps!!!
