Answer:

  x = √2

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph indicates the only solution is near x=√2.

__

Square both sides, separate the radical and do it again.

  \displaystyle(2-x)\sqrt{\frac{x+2}{x-1}}=\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3x-4}\qquad\text{given}\\\\(2-x)^2\cdot\frac{x+2}{x-1}=x+(3x-4)+2\sqrt{x(3x-4)}\qquad\text{square}\\\\\frac{(2-x)^2(x+2)}{x-1}-4x+4=2\sqrt{x(3x-4)}\qquad\text{isolate radical}\\\\\left(\frac{(2-x)^2(x+2)-4(x-1)^2}{x-1}\right)^2=x(3x-4)\qquad\text{square}\\\\(x^3-6x^2+4x+4)^2=4(x-1)^2(3x^2-4x)\qquad\text{multiply by $(x-1)^2$}

Now, we can put this polynomial equation into standard form and factor it.

  x^6 -12x^5+32x^4-76x^2+48x+16=0\\\\(x-2)^2(x^2-2)(x^2-8x-2)=0\qquad\text{factor it}\\\\x\in \{2,\pm\sqrt{2},4\pm3\sqrt{2}\}

The original equation requires that we restrict the domain of possible solutions. In order for the radicals to be non-negative, we must have x ≥ 4/3. In order for the left side of the equation to be non-negative, we must have x ≤ 2. So, the only potential solutions will be in the interval [4/3, 2].

The only values in the above list that match this requirement are {√2, 2}. We know that the right side of the equation cannot be zero, so the value x=2 is also an extraneous solution.

The only solution is x = √2.

<em>Additional comment</em>

For solving higher-degree polynomials, I like to use a graphing calculator to help me find the roots. The second attachment shows the roots of the 6th-degree polynomial. They can help us factor the equation. (There are also various machine solvers available that will show factors and roots.)

The ratio of boys to girls in Mr. Smith's class is 3:2.
ankoles [38]

Answer: A and E

Step-by-step explanation: since the question says boys to girls and not girls to boys we assume the first number in the ratio is boys. This makes A correct 3 boys for every 2 girls. And 3+2 is 5 so for every 5 students there are 2 girls because you add the 3 boys
