Answer:

D.    x = 12, solution is not extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

-4√(x - 3) = -12

Divide both sides by -4

√(x - 3) = 3

Square both sides

x - 3 = 9

add 3 to both sides

x = 12

To see if it's extraneous plug into original problem

-4√(12 - 3) = -12

-4√(9) = -12

-4 * 3 = -12

-12 = -12

not extraneous

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

using the rule of exponents

• a^{-m} ⇔ \frac{1}{a^{m} }, hence

9^{-2} = \frac{1}{9^{2} } = \frac{1}{81} → (a)

Write an equation of a line that goes through the point (-9, 3), and is perpendicular to the line 3x + y = 5
Vlad [161]
To find the slope of the line, first find the slope of 3x + y = 5, and then its opposite reciprocal.

3x + y = 5
y = -3x + 5
the slope of 3x + y = 5 is -3.

the slope is -3, so the opposite reciprocal slope is 1/3.

the equation of any line is y = ax + b
to find this line, y = 3, x = -9, and the slope is 1/3.

3 = -9a + b
3 = -9 (1/3) + b
3 = -3 +b
b = 6

substitute a and b into the equation
y = ax + b
y = 1/3x + 6

the equation of the line is y = 1/3x + 6.
