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

Mathematics

dimulka [17.4K]3 years ago

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

Answer:

  -864

Step-by-step explanation:

The determinant of a matrix product is the product of the determinants. The determinant of a transpose is the same as the determinant of the original. Hence ...

  |AB^5C^T|=(4)(-2)^5(\frac{1}{4})=-32

The multiplication of an n×n matrix by a scalar 'a' multiplies its determinant by a^n, so the desired determinant is ...

  |3AB^5C^T|=3^3(-32) = \boxed{-864}

On a number line, find the midpoint between -18 and 4.
sineoko [7]

The midpoint between these two would be -7, as you would add these two numbers, and then divide by two.
