The 2 smallest lengths in a triangle have to add up to be greater that the longest side of the triangle. In this case, the longest side is 20. The 2 smallest sides are 5 and 10. 5+10=15, but 15<20. This is why these 3 lengths can’t create a triangle.
Answer:
x=-6 is an extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

squared both sides



solve the quadratic equation by graphing
The solution is x=-6 and x=-1
see the attached figure
<u><em>Verify each solution</em></u>
substitute the value of x in the original expression
For x=-6


----> is not true
so
Is an extraneous solution
For x=-1


----> is true
so
Is the solution
This is how it is done. Let me know if you have questions...
Sqrt(x+4-3)=1
sqrt (x+1) = 1
x+1 = 1^2
x=1-1
x=0
This is how you would get x=0
Hope I helped :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a3 = 2
d = -5
=============
a4 = a3 - 5
a4 = 2 - 5
a4 = - 3
===============
a5 = a4 - 5
a5 = -3 - 5
a5 = - 8
Just take a4 as your answer.
