Answer:

X=7

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to get everything out of the square root, just square both sides.

This will give you x + 1 = 2x - 6

move like terms to each side and you’ll end up with x = 7

Which statement best reflects the solution(s) of the equation?

Inessa [10]

x=2 is only solution while x=1 is extraneous solution

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation $\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$ and find values of x.

Solving:

Find the LCM of denominators x-1,x and x-1. The LCM is x(x-1)

Multiply the entire equation with x(x-1)

$\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}\\\frac{1}{x-1}*x(x-1)+\frac{2}{x}*x(x-1)=\frac{x}{x-1}*x(x-1)\\Cancelling\,\,out\,\,the\,\,same\,\,terms:\\x+2(x-1)=x^2\\x+2x-2=x^2\\3x-2=x^2\\x^2-3x+2=0$

Now, factoring the term:

$x^2-2x-x+2=0\\x(x-2)-1(x-2)=0\\(x-1)(x-2)=0\\x-1=0\,\,and\,\, x-2=0\\x=1\,\,and\,\, x=2$

The values of x are x=1 and x=2

Checking for extraneous roots:

Extraneous roots: The root that is the solution of the equation but when we put it in the equation the answer turns out not to be right.

If we put x=1 in the equation, $\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$ the denominator becomes zero i.e

$\frac{1}{1-1}+\frac{2}{1}=\frac{1}{1-1}\\\frac{1}{0}+2=\frac{1}{0}$

which is not correct as in fraction anything divided by zero is undefined. So, x=1 is an extraneous solution.

If we put x=2 in the equation,

$\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$

$\frac{1}{2-1}+\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{2-1}\\\frac{1}{1}+1=\frac{2}{1}\\1+1=2\\2=2$

So, x=2 is only solution while x=1 is extraneous solution

Option C is correct.

Recall from Intermediate Algebra that two non-vertical lines are perpendicular if and only if they have negative reciprocal slop

OLEGan [10]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The line is $y = -4 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The line is $y = \frac{1}{4} x + 8$

The point is P(0,0 )

Generally the equation for a line is $yn = mx + c$

Now comparing this with the given equation we see that

$m =\frac{1}{4} = slope$

$C =8 = intercept$

Generally the slope of the perpendicular to the given line is mathematically evaluated as

$m_1 = - \frac{1}{m}$

=> $m_1 = - \frac{1}{ \frac{1}{4}}$

=> $m_1 = -4$

Generally from the univesal equation of a line and the given point we have that

y = mx + c at p(0,0) and $m_1 = -4$ is

0 = -4 (0 ) + c

=> c = 0

Hence the equation perpendicular to the line given at the point given is

$y = -4 x$

Paige used 1 1/2 cups of flour and 1/4 cup of butter to make 12 muffins. How much flour and butter would palat

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To turn the fraction of 1 1/2 to decimal would be : 1.50 add fifty percent because you have to add 6 to 12 and six is half, so you add half. Half of 150 is 75 so add them you get 225 and as a fraction, that's 2 1/4. Already you have the first part done. Since there is only one answer with 2 1/3 your answer has to be D.

what is the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to y=2x+2 and passes through the point (8,-4)

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = 2x + 2 is

y = -1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The original equation is y = 2x + 2; it's slope is 2

Any line perpendicular to this equation would have to have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

Example:

y = 2x + 2 so,

the perpendicular line's slope must be -1/2

Write a new equation with the new slope:

y = -1/2x + b

We know that this line passes through (8, -4)

Plug these coordinates in the equation to find b, the y-intercept

-4 = -1/2 (8) + b

-4 = -4 + b

0 = b

b = 0

We do not have to write y = -1/2x + 0

So, our final answer is "y = -1/2x is perpendicular to y = 2x+2"
