Can someone please explain how to solve this. p^-4 x -5p

P^-4 x -5p

In properties of exponents, if the exponent is negative then you move the variable with the negative exponent to the denominators place and it changes to positive and the numerator becomes 1.

p^-4=1/(p^4)

Also, if no exponent is present it is understood to be 1.

Keeping this in mind,
p^-4 x -5p
1/(p^4) x -5p^1 substituted p^-4 by 1/p^4 and added ^1 to -5p
-5p^1/p^4 multiplied-5p^1 to 1
-5/p^3 simplified

Given the equation Square root of 2x plus 1 = 3, solve for x and identify if it is an extraneous solution

maksim [4K]

To answer the question above, raise both sides of the equation to the power of two.
(sqrt (2x + 1))² = 3²
This will simplify into,
2x + 1 = 9
Solving for the value of x gives an answer of x = 4. This value is not an extraneous root as it satisfy the original equation even if it is inside the radical sign. (I hope this is right)

2. Check the boxes for the following sets that are closed under the given

son4ous [18]

The properties of the mathematical sequence allow us to find that the recurrence term is 1 and the operation for each sequence is

a) Subtraction

b) Addition

c) AdditionSum

d) in this case we have two possibilities

* If we move to the right the addition

* If we move to the left the subtraction

The sequence is a set of elements arranged one after another related by some mathematical relationship. The elements of the sequence are called terms.

The sequences shown can be defined by recurrence relations.

Let's analyze each sequence shown, the ellipsis indicates where the sequence advances.

a) ... -7, -6, -5, -4, -3

We can observe that each term has a difference of one unit; if we subtract 1 from the term to the right, we obtain the following term

-3 -1 = -4

-4 -1 = -5

-7 -1 = -8

Therefore the mathematical operation is the subtraction.

b) $0. \sqrt{1}. \sqrt{4}, \sqrt{9}, \sqrt{16}, \sqrt{25}$ ...

In this case we can see more clearly the sequence when writing in this way

$0, \sqrt{1^2}. \sqrt{2^2}, \sqrt{3^2 } . \sqrt{4^2} , \sqrt{5^2}$

each term is found by adding 1 to the current term,

$\sqrt{(0+1)^2} = \sqrt{1^2} \\\sqrt{(1+1)^2} = \sqrt{2^2}\\\sqrt{(2+1)^2} = \sqrt{3^2}\\\sqrt{(5+1)^2} = \sqrt{6^2}$

Therefore the mathematical operation is the addition

c) $... \frac{-10}{2}. \frac{-8}{2}, \frac{-6}{2}, \frac{-4}{2}. \frac{-2}{2}. ...$

The recurrence term is unity, with the fact that the sequence extends to the right and to the left the operation is

To move to the right add 1

- $\frac{-10}{2} + 1 = \frac{-10}{2} - \frac{2}{2} = \frac{-8}{2}\\\frac{-8}{2} + \frac{2}{2} = \frac{-6}{2}$

To move left subtract 1

$\frac{-2}{2} - 1 = \frac{-4}{2}\\\frac{-4}{2} - \frac{2}{2} = \frac{-6}{2}$

Using the properties the mathematical sequence we find that the recurrence term is 1 and the operation for each sequence is

a) Subtraction

b) Sum

c) Sum

d) This case we have two possibilities

If we move to the right the sum

If we move to the left we subtract
