Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation below as a model, fill in numbers in the place of a and b to create a rational equation that has an extraneous solution.

X + 4 / 4x = 8 / x

Part 1. Show all work to solve for x in the equation and check the solution.

X + 4 / 4x = 8 / x

x(x + 4) = (4x)8

x^2 + 4x = 32x

x^2 + 4x - 32x = 32x - 32x

x^2 - 28x = 0

x(x - 28) = 0

X = 0 or x = 28

Part 2. Explain how to identify the extraneous solution and what it means.

The solution x = 0 is extraneous because you are not allowed to divide by 0.

What is the length of the base of a triangle with height 18 m and area 99 square m?

Ivan

Use the equation for the area of a triangle:
$A = \frac{1}{2} hb$
where A = area, h = height of the triangle, and b = base of the triangle.

You know that h=18m and A=99 $m^{2}$ . Plug those values into the equation and solve for b, the base.
$A = \frac{1}{2} hb \\ 
99 = \frac{1}{2} (18)b \\ 
99=9b\\
b=11$

The base is 11m long.

True [87]

Answer:

1500

Step-by-step explanation:

64/200 = 32/100 = 16/50 =

8/25 of 480 turtles marked

divide 480 by 8 and then multiply the quotient by 25

480/8= 60

60*25=1500
