Show work and solve for √ ( 5 x − 9 ) − 1 = x.

Mathematics
2 answers:
Mandarinka [93]3 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

The following data table represents the total cost of a monthly cell phone bill as a function of the number of minutes that the
Alisiya [41]
Answer:
The total monthly cost would be $214

explanation:
They gave us 1,250, which is half of 2,500. multiplication:
1,250 = 2,500
107 = x
2 × 1,250 = 2,500
2 × 107 = 214
Therefore, the total monthly cost if the cell phone is used for 2,500 minutes is $214.

What segment is congruent to AC?<br> A. BD<br> B. BE<br> C. CE<br> D. none
Phoenix [80]
You can find the segment congruent to AC by finding another segment with the same length. So first, you need to find the length of AC.

   C - A = AC
0 - (-6) = AC   Cancel out the double negative
  0 + 6 = AC
        6 = AC

Now, find another segment that also has a length of 6.

   D - B = BD
2 - (-2) = BD   Cancel out the double negative
  2 + 2 = BD
        4 = BD
        4 ≠ 6

   E - B = BE
4 - (-2) = BE   Cancel out the double negative
  4 + 2 = BE 
        6 = BE
        6 = 6

So, the segment congruent to AC is B. BE .
