Consider the radical equation √c+22 = c + 2.

First square both sides to get:

c + 22 = (c + 2)^2

or

c + 22 = c^2 + 4c + 4

Move the terms on the left side to the right side:

c^2 + 3c - 18 = 0

Factor to get:

(c + 6) * (c - 3) = 0.

The solutions are c = -6 and c = 3.

Check to see if these answers work by plugging them into the original equation:

c = -6:

sqrt (-6 + 22) ?= -6 + 2

But, -6 + 2 is a negative number, and you can't get a negative from a square root. So, -6 is extraneous.

c = 3:

sqrt (3 + 22) ?= 3 + 2

5 = 5. So, 3 works.

The answer is: B

Please help I don’t understand
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

y = -2x+4

Exp:

Slope (m) =

ΔY

ΔX

=

-2

1

= -2

θ =

arctan( ΔY ) + 360°

ΔX

= 296.56505117708°

ΔX = 2 – 1 = 1

ΔY = 0 – 2 = -2

Distance (d) = √ΔX2 + ΔY2 = √5 = 2.2360679774998

Equation of the line:

y = -2x + 4

When x=0, y = 4

When y=0, x = 2

What is the answer to -3(1+6r)=14-r
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
<span>-3(1+6r)=14-r
-3 - 18r = 14 - r ...expand by using distributive property
-3 -17r = 14 ...add (r) to both sides
-17r = 17 ...add (3) to both sides
     r = -1 ....divide both sides by (-17)</span>
