Given

a\sqrt{x+b}+c=d

we have

\sqrt{x+b}=\dfrac{d-c}{a}

Squaring both sides, we have

x+b=\dfrac{(d-c)^2}{a^2}

And finally

x=\dfrac{(d-c)^2}{a^2}-b

Note that, when we square both sides, we have to assume that

\dfrac{d-c}{a}>0

because we're assuming that this fraction equals a square root, which is positive.

So, if that fraction is positive you'll actually have roots: choose

a=1,\ b=0,\ c=2,\ d=6

and you'll have

\sqrt{x}+2=6 \iff \sqrt{x}=4 \iff x=16

Which is a valid solution. If, instead, the fraction is negative, you'll have extraneous roots: choose

a=1,\ b=0,\ c=10,\ d=4

and you'll have

\sqrt{x}+10=4 \iff \sqrt{x}=-6

Squaring both sides (and here's the mistake!!) you'd have

x=36

which is not a solution for the equation, if we plug it in we have

\sqrt{x}+10=4 \implies \sqrt{36}+10=4 \implies 6+10=4

Which is clearly false

Your part time job pays you $14/h. You work approximately 12 hours/week.
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

  1. <u>BOX 1 </u>=  672.00

(14 * 12 = 168

168 * 4 = $ 672 )

     2. <u>BOX 2</u> = 282.95

(Cell phone= $45 A MONTH

Eating outside = $50 A MONTH

12 .50 * 4   = 50   (4 WEEKS A MONTH )

Transportation =  131.2 A MONTH

32.80 * 4 = 131.2  (4 WEEKS A MONTH )

Movie =  $16.75 A MONTH

Charity = $ 40 A MONTH

10 * 4  (4 WEEKS A MONTH )

<u> MONTHLY EXPENSE </u> = 45 + 50 + 131.2 + 16.75 + 40

<u> MONTHLY EXPENSE </u> = 282.95 )

      3. <u>BOX 3</u> = 389.05

Money that can be saved = Monthly income - Monthly expense

Money that can be saved = 672 -  282.95

                                          = 389.05

Solve for U -8u = - 16/3
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

u = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply divide both sides by -8:

u = (-16/3)/-8

If you don't have a calc, use KCF:

u = (-16/3)(-1/8)

u = 16/24

u = 2/3

A negative scale factor inverts the original image and scales it to what the number is.

An expansion means the image would get bigger.

For an image to get bigger the scale factor needs be be greater than 1.


-2 means the image would increase in size and be inverted.

2 means the image would increase in size.


The two correct scale factors are -2 and 2.
