Mandarinka [93]4 years ago

sqrt (5x - 9) - 1 = x

sqrt(5x - 9) = x + 1

Square both sides:_

5x - 9 = x^2 + 2x + 1

x^2 - 3x + 10 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

x = 5 or -2.

Lets look for for any extraneous solutions:-

x = 5 ;  sqrt (5*5-9) - 1 = sqrt16 - 1 =  3  and  x = 3  (right hand side of equation)

so x = 5 is a solution

x = -2:  sqrt(5*-2 - 9) - 1 =  sqrt (-19) - 1  and x = -2  so this is extraneous

Answer:- One solution x = 5

<u>Answer:</u>

x = -2 and x = 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

\sqrt{(5x-9)} -1=x\\\\\sqrt{(5x-9)}=x+1

Taking square on both sides of the equation to get:

(\sqrt{5x-9})^2=(x+1)^2\\\\5x-9=x^2+2x+1\\\\x^2+2x-5x+1+9=0\\\\x^2-3x+10=0

Factorizing this equation to get:

x^2+2x-5x+10=0\\\\x(x+2)-5(x+2)=0\\\\(x+2)(x-5)=0\\\\x=-2, x=5

Checking for any extraneous solution:

Put x=-2 in the given expression:

\sqrt{5(-2)-9} -1=-2\\\\\sqrt{-19}-1 \neq -2 ---> extraneous solution

Express the product in simplest form.
Dmitry [639]

The product in simplest form is (x - 4)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

\frac{8}{2x+8} \times \frac{x^2-16}{4}

We have to find the product in simplest form

In the given expression,

2x + 8 = 2(x+ 4)

We know that,

a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

Therefore,

x^2-16 = x^2-4^2 =(x+4)(x-4)

Substitute these in given expression

\frac{8}{2(x+4)} \times \frac{(x+4)(x-4)}{4}

Cancel the common factors,

\frac{8}{2(x+4)} \times \frac{(x+4)(x-4)}{4} = x - 4

Thus the product in simplest form is (x - 4)

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

  V = πr²h

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is ...

  V = πr²h

where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height of the cylinder.

_____

<em>Comment on the formula</em>

This is a specific version of the formula for any sort of "prism" with parallel bases and a uniform cross section (parallel to the bases). The volume of such a figure is computed as ...

  V = Bh

where B is the area of the base and h is the perpendicular distance between the parallel bases. Here, the base is a circle, so has area formula ...

  B = πr²

Filling this into the volume formula gives ...

  V = πr²h . . . . . as above
