Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
= x - 5 ( x ≥ 3 )
( )² = ( x - 5 )²
x - 3 = x² - 10x + 25
x² - 11x + 28 = 0
(x - 4)(x - 7) = 0
= 7
= 4
Check the answer:
1). x = 7
= 7 - 2
√4 = 2
2 = 2
2). x = 4
= 4 - 5
1 = - 1 (False statement) ⇒ x = 4 is an extraneous solution.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Polynomial Remainder Theorem. It states that if we divide a polynomial P(x) by a <em>binomial</em> in the form (x - a), then our remainder will be P(a).
We are dividing:
So, a polynomial by a binomial factor.
Our factor is (x + k) or (x - (-k)). Using the form (x - a), our a = -k.
We want our remainder to be 3. So, P(a)=P(-k)=3.
Therefore:
Simplify:
Solve for <em>k</em>. Subtract 3 from both sides:
Factor:
Zero Product Property:
Solve:
So, either of the two expressions:
Will yield 3 as the remainder.
