How do you solve this ? Check for extraneous solutions

Mathematics
1 answer:
kakasveta [241]3 years ago

ANSWER

x = 6

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

\sqrt{3x + 7}  = x - 1

We square both sides of the equation to obtain,

(\sqrt{3x + 7} ) ^{2}  =( x - 1)^{2}

This implies that,

3x + 7 =  {x}^{2}  - 2x + 1

Rewrite in standard quadratic equation form.

{x}^{2}  - 2x  - 3x+ 1 - 7 = 0

{x}^{2}  -5x - 6= 0

Factor

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

This implies that,

x = 6 \: x =  - 1

We check for extraneous solution by substituting each x-value into the original equation.

When x=-1,

\sqrt{3( - 1)+ 7}  =  - 1- 1

\sqrt{4}  =  - 2

2=-2....False

Hence x=-1 is an extraneous solution.

When x=6,

\sqrt{3( 6)+ 7}  =  6- 1

\sqrt{25}  =  5

5=5 is True.

Hence x=6 is the only solution.

Find the following integral
ololo11 [35]

There's nothing preventing us from computing one integral at a time:

\displaystyle \int_0^{2-x} xyz \,\mathrm dz = \frac12xyz^2\bigg|_{z=0}^{z=2-x} \\\\ = \frac12xy(2-x)^2

\displaystyle \int_0^{1-x}\int_0^{2-x}xyz\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dy = \frac12\int_0^{1-x}xy(2-x)^2\,\mathrm dy \\\\ = \frac14xy^2(2-x)^2\bigg|_{y=0}^{y=1-x} \\\\= \frac14x(1-x)^2(2-x)^2

\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^{1-x}\int_0^{2-x}xyz\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx = \frac14\int_0^1x(1-x)^2(2-x)^2\,\mathrm dx

Expand the integrand completely:

x(1-x)^2(2-x)^2 = x^5-6x^4+13x^3-12x^2+4x

Then

\displaystyle\frac14\int_0^1x(1-x)^2(2-x)^2\,\mathrm dx = \left(\frac16x^6-\frac65x^5+\frac{13}4x^4-4x^3+2x^2\right)\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=1} \\\\ = \boxed{\frac{13}{240}}

QUESTION 2. the feasible region shows the number of chairs x and tables y that a furniture company can build each week.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Part a) The company can not build 12 chairs and 5 tables

Part b) The company can build 18 chairs and 3 tables

Part c) The company  can build 12,13,14,15,16 or 17 chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If a ordered pair is a solution, then the ordered pair must be belong to the feasible region of the graph

Part a) Can the company build 12 chairs and 5 tables?

In this problem we have the ordered pair A(12,5)

Plot  and verify if the point belong to the feasible region of the graph

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

The point A is not on the feasible region

therefore

The company can not build 12 chairs and 5 tables

Part b) Can the company build 18 chairs and 3 tables?

In this problem we have the ordered pair B(18,3)

Plot  and verify if the point belong to the feasible region of the graph

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

The point B is on the feasible region

therefore

The company can build 18 chairs and 3 tables

Part c) One week, the company decides to build 4 tables. how many chairs can the company build?

For y=4

Find the value of x in the graph

The solutions point for y=4 tables are

(12,4), (13,4),(14,4),(15,4),(16,4) and (17,4)

therefore

The company  can build 12,13,14,15,16 or 17 chairs

A license plate consists of 2 letters followed by 3 digits. How many license plates are possible if the 1st digit cannot be 0, a
zloy xaker [14]

There are 608400 plates are possible.

If the first is A, we have 26 possibilities:

AA, AB, AC,AD,AE ...................................... AW, AX, AY, AZ.

If the first is B, we have 26 possibilities:

BA, BB, BC, BD, BE .........................................BW, BX,BY,BZ

And so on for every letter of the alphabet.

There are 26 choices for the first letter and 26 choices for the second letter. The number of different combinations of 2 letters is:

26×26=676

The same applies for the three digits.

There are 9 choices for the first as first digit cannot be 0

10 for the second,

10 for the third

9×10×10=900

So for a license plate which has 2 letters and 3 digits, there are:

676 × 900 = 608400 possibilities

il63 [147K]

Answer:

The probability that it isn't orange is 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

There are twelve crayons and two are orange so there is ten that aren't orange. Probability being 10/12. We can now simplify to 5/6. There you go easy as.

Many regards, Abdelmumen Nakoa.
