Answer:
Option A is correct.
i.e. x = 1, x = 0 is an extraneous solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression
Solving the rational function
Apply fraction across multiply: if
Subtract x(4x+1) from both sides
Simplify
5x² - 4x² - x = 0
x² - x = 0
Factor x² - x = x(x-1)
so
x(x-1) = 0
Using the zero factor principle
if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0 (or both a=0 and b=0)
Thus, the solution to the equation is:
But, it is clear that if we substitute x = 0, the equation becomes undefined because we can not have the denominator to be 0.
In other words, the equation is undefined for x = 0
Thus, x = 0 is an extraneous solutions.
Therefore, option A is correct.
i.e. x = 1, x = 0 is an extraneous solution.
Answer:
227750
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume that the rate of increase in population is linear, then in 4 years the increase in population is (224000 - 221000) = 3000.
So, the rate of increase in population is persons per year.
Now, we have to calculate the population of the town after an additional 5 years.
So, the population in 5 years will increase by (750 × 5) = 3750
Therefore, the population after an additional 5 years will be (224000 + 3750) = 227750. (Answer)
