Answer:

x=-4 , Extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation - \frac{1}{x+4}+ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{x+4}

To classify : The given equation as extraneous or non-extraneous ?

Solution :  

An extraneous solution is one that we arrive at that will not work in the equation.

For rational equations, extraneous solutions are ones that will cause the denominator to be 0.

So, first we solve the given equation

\frac{1}{x+4}+ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{x+4}

Taking LCM to LHS

\frac{2+x+4}{2(x+4)}=\frac{1}{x+4}

Cancel (x+4) both side,

\frac{x+6}{2}=1

Cross multiply,

x+6=2

x=-4

Now, if we put x=-4 in the equation the denominator is zero.

Therefore, It is an extraneous solution.

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 strokes through XM and MY indicate the segments are congruent, so

YM = MX , that is

8x - 24 = 3x + 1 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

5x - 24 = 1 ( add 24 to both sides )

5x = 25 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 5

We have 4different boxesand 6different objects. We want to distribute the objects into the boxes such that at no box is empty. I
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

They provide various boxes or various objects.  It also wants objects to be distributed into containers, so no container is empty.  All we select k objects of r to keep no boxes empty, which (r C k) could be done.  All such k artifacts can be placed in k containers, each of them in k! Forms. There will be remaining (r-k) objects. All can be put in any of k boxes.  Therefore, these (r-k) objects could in the k^{(r-k)} manner are organized.  Consequently, both possible ways to do this are

=\binom{r}{k} \times k! \times k^{r-k}\\\\=\frac{r! \times k^{r-k}}{(r-k)!}

Consequently, the number of ways that r objects in k different boxes can be arranged to make no book empty is every possible one

= \frac{r!k^{r-k}}{(r-k)!}

What is the perimeter of this shape? Use numbers only. *
olga55 [171]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is all of the sides added together. Because this is a rectangle, the length and width are the same on both sides. They gave you the length and width, so just add them:

4 + 4 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 13.

So the perimeter of the shape is 13.
