Answer,

S = -16

Explanation,

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

13 + 11s = − 15 + 8s − 20

13 + 11s = − 15 + 8s + − 20

11s + 13 = (8s) + (− 15 + − 20) (Combine Like Terms)

11s + 13 = 8s + − 35

11s + 13 = 8s − 35

Step 2: Subtract 8s from both sides.

11s + 13 − 8s = 8s − 35 − 8s

3s + 13 = − 35

Step 3: Subtract 13 from both sides.

3s + 13 − 13 = − 35 − 13

3s = − 48

Step 4: Divide both sides by 3.

3s/3 = −48/3

s = -16

Hope this helps :-)

Which is the equation of a circle whose center is at the origin and that passes through the point (3, 5)?

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

x² + y² = 34

Formula:

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where (h, k) is the center

Here find the radius using distance formula: → origin : (0, 0)

√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

√(3-0)²+(5-0)²

√9+25

√34

Thus the equation of circle:

(x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = (√34)²

(x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = 34

x² + y² = 34

Not sure what to do here can someone please help

kumpel [21]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

These equations are solved easily using a graphing calculator. The attachment shows the one solution is x=2.

<h3>Squaring</h3>

The usual way to solve these algebraically is to isolate radicals and square the equation until the radicals go away. Then solve the resulting polynomial. Here, that results in a quadratic with two solutions. One of those is extraneous, as is often the case when this solution method is used.

$\sqrt{x+2}+1=\sqrt{3x+3}\qquad\text{given}\\\\(x+2)+2\sqrt{x+2}+1=3x+3\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\2\sqrt{x+2}=(3x+3)-(x+3)=2x\qquad\text{isolate the root term}\\\\x+2=x^2\qquad\text{divide by 2, square both sides}\\\\x^2-x-2=0\qquad\text{write in standard form}\\\\(x-2)(x+1)=0\qquad\text{factor}$

The solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the factors zero: x=2 and x=-1. When we check these in the original equation, we find that x=-1 does not work. It is an extraneous solution.

x = -1: √(-1+2) +1 = √(3(-1)+3) ⇒ 1+1 = 0 . . . . not true

x = 2: √(2+2) +1 = √(3(2) +3) ⇒ 2 +1 = 3 . . . . true . . . x = 2 is the solution

<h3>Substitution</h3>

Another way to solve this is using substitution for one of the radicals. We choose ...

$u=\sqrt{x+2}\qquad\text{requires $u\ge0$}\\\\u^2-2=x\qquad\text{solve for x}\\\\u+1=\sqrt{3(u^2-2)+3}\qquad\text{substitute for x in the original equation}\\\\(u+1)^2=3u^2-3\qquad\text{square both sides, simplify a little}\\\\2u^2-2u-4=0\qquad\text{subtract $(u+1)^2$}\\\\2(u-2)(u+1)=0\qquad\text{factor}$

Solutions to this equation are ...

u = 2, u = -1 . . . . . . the above restriction on u mean u=-1 is not a solution

The value of x is ...

x = u² -2 = 2² -2

x = 2 . . . . the solution to the equation

Additional comment

Using substitution may be a little more work, as you have to solve for x in terms of the substituted variable. It still requires two squarings: one to find the value of x in terms of u, and another to eliminate the remaining radical. The advantage seems to be that the extraneous solution is made more obvious by the restriction on the value of u.
