Answer:

Third option: x=0 and x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{2x+4}-\sqrt{x}=2$

Isolating √(2x+4): Addind √x both sides of the equation:

$\sqrt{2x+4}-\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x}=2+\sqrt{x}\\ \sqrt{2x+4}=2+\sqrt{x}$

Squaring both sides of the equation:

$(\sqrt{2x+4})^{2}=(2+\sqrt{x})^{2}$

Simplifying on the left side, and applying on the right side the formula:

$(a+b)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2}; a=2, b=\sqrt{x}$

$2x+4=(2)^{2}+2(2)(\sqrt{x})+(\sqrt{x})^{2}\\ 2x+4=4+4\sqrt{x}+x$

Isolating the term with √x on the right side of the equation: Subtracting 4 and x from both sides of the equation:

$2x+4-4-x=4+4\sqrt{x}+x-4-x\\ x=4\sqrt{x}$

Squaring both sides of the equation:

$(x)^{2}=(4\sqrt{x})^{2}\\ x^{2}=(4)^{2}(\sqrt{x})^{2}\\ x^{2}=16 x$

This is a quadratic equation. Equaling to zero: Subtract 16x from both sides of the equation:

$x^{2}-16x=16x-16x\\ x^{2}-16x=0$

Factoring: Common factor x:

x (x-16)=0

Two solutions:

1) x=0

2) x-16=0

Solving for x: Adding 16 both sides of the equation:

x-16+16=0+16

x=16

Let's prove the solutions in the orignal equation:

1) x=0:

$\sqrt{2x+4}-\sqrt{x}=2\\ \sqrt{2(0)+4}-\sqrt{0}=2\\ \sqrt{0+4}-0=2\\ \sqrt{4}=2\\ 2=2$

x=0 is a solution

2) x=16

$\sqrt{2x+4}-\sqrt{x}=2\\ \sqrt{2(16)+4}-\sqrt{16}=2\\ \sqrt{32+4}-4=2\\ \sqrt{36}-4=2\\ 6-4=2\\ 2=2$

x=16 is a solution

Then the solutions are x=0 and x=16

An oil tanker breaks apart and starts leaking. As time goes on, the rate at which the oil is leaking out will diminish. Suppose

Alborosie

Answer:

62.77 million gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The function that shows rate of leaking oil per minute in after t hours,

$R(t) = \frac{0.7}{1+t^2}$

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes ⇒ 3 hours = 180 minutes,

Hence, the quantity of oil leaked out in the first 3 hours,

$V(t) = \int_{0}^{180} R(t) dt$

$=\int_{0}^{180} \frac{0.7}{1+t^2} dt$

$=0.7 \int_{0}^{180} \frac{dt}{1+t^2}$

$=0.7[tan^{-1}(t)]_{0}^{180}$

$=0.7(tan^{-1}(180) - tan^{-1} (0))$

$=0.7(89.68)$

= 62.77 million gallons
