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.)

Solve the equation 3x + 4 = 5x - 8​
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 = 5x - 8

==> add 8 to both sides

in doing so we get 3x + 4 + 8 = 5x - 8 + 8

the -8 and the +8 cancels out and 4 + 8 = 12

we are left with 3x + 12 = 5x

==> subtract 3x from both sides

in doing so we get 3x - 3x + 12 = 5x - 3x

the 3x and -3x cancel out and 5x - 3x = 2x

we are left with 12 = 2x

==> divide both sides by 2

in doing so we get 12/2 which equals 6 and 2x/2x which leaves us with

6 = x

The speed of sound in water is 1498 m/s. a sonar signal is sent straight down from a ship at a point just below the water surfac
bulgar [2K]
The 1.8 s is the time for the signal to reach the ocean floor and return to the ship so the time to reach ocean floor = 1.8 / 2 = 0.90 seconds.
depth of ocean = speed * time

=  1498 * 0.90  =  1348.2 m  Answer
