Answer:

-2, (-5 is extraneous)

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming √(x+6) -4 =x

√(x+6) = x+4

square both side

x+6 = (x+4)^2

x+6 = x^2+8x+16

x^2+7x+10=0

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

x = -2, -5

put -5 back into org equation and it is not true

√(-5+6) -4 ≠ -5

What is the factorization of 729^15+1000

Nesterboy [21]

$\bf \textit{difference and sum of cubes} \\\\ a^3+b^3 = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2) \\\\ a^3-b^3 = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \begin{cases} 729=27^2\\ \qquad (3^3)^2\\ 1000=10^3 \end{cases}\implies 729^{15}+1000\implies ((3^3)^2)^{15}+10^3 \\\\\\ ((3^2)^{15})^3+10^3\implies (3^{30})^3+10^3\implies (3^{30}+10)~~[(3^{30})^2-(3^{30})(10)+10^2] \\\\\\ (3^{30})^3+10^3\implies (3^{30}+10)~~~~[(3^{60})-(3^{30})(10)+10^2]$

now, we could expand them, but there's no need, since it's just factoring.

The length of a rectangle is 8 inches more than twice its width. The area of the rectangle is 120 square inches. How many inches

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

L = 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

w = width

L = length

area = 120

W x L = 120

L - 8 = 2W then L = 2W + 8

substitute for L:

W x (2W + 8) = 120

2W² + 8W -120 = 0

(2W - 12)(W + 10) = 0

2W-12 = 0

2W = 12

W = 6

L = 20
