Answer:
x = 4, x ≠ -1
Step-by-step explanation:
√3x + 4 = x
(√3x + 4)² = x² (Square both sides to get rid of the radical.)
3x + 4 = x²
0 = x² - 3x - 4 (Set everything to 0 by moving everything to one side.)
0 = (x - 4)(x + 1) (Factor.)
x = 4 x = -1
Now we need to check for extraneous solutions:
√3(4) + 4 = 4
√12 + 4 = 4
√16 = 4
4 = 4
√3(-1) + 4 = -1
√-3 +4 = -1
√1 = -1
1 ≠ -1
-1 is an extraneous solution.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
For the equation y = 5x - 6, m = 5, meaning that the slope of the line is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:
The truck is 315 inches long
Answer:
Height of flagpole before it fell = 5.15 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of remain pole (p) = 1.7 m
Distance from base (b) = 3 m
Find:
Height of flagpole before it fell
Computation:
Using Pythagorean theorem
H = √ p² + b
Length of broken part = √ 1.7² + 3²
Length of broken part = √ 2.89 + 9
Length of broken part = √ 11.89
Length of broken part = 3.45 (Approx)
Height of flagpole before it fell = Length of broken part + Height of remain pole
Height of flagpole before it fell = 3.45 + 1.7
Height of flagpole before it fell = 5.15 m
Lowest common denominator for 3,4,6 is 12
5/6 = 10/12
1/4 = 3/12
2/3 = 8/12
a)
10/12 + 3/12 = 13/12 = 1 1/12
So you need to use first and second cables
b)
3/12 + 8/12 = 11/12
To reach 1 yard Carl need 1/12 yard cable
