Step-by-step explanation:
You are doing simple math within the square root. For instance where x=-2 you substitute -2 for x then add 2 which gives you 0 leaving you with -6.
for x=2 you end up with "square root 2+2" which gives you 4 and the square root of 4 is 2 so you add -6 to 2 giving you the answer of -4.

Answer: The hook would be 2.2 inches (approximately) above the top of the frame
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for further details.
The top of the picture frame has been given as 9 inches and a 10 inch ribbon has been attached in order to hang it on a wall. The ribbon at the point of being hung up would be divided into 5 inches on either side (as shown in the picture). The line from the tip/hook down to the frame would divide the length of the frame into two equal lengths, that is 4.5 inches on either side of the hook. This would effectively give us two similar right angled triangles with sides 5 inches, 4.5 inches and a third side yet unknown. That third side is the distance from the hook to the top of the frame. The distance is calculated by using the Pythagoras theorem which states as follows;
AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2
Where AC is the hypotenuse (longest side) and AB and BC are the other two sides
5^2 = 4.5^2 + BC^2
25 = 20.25 + BC^2
Subtract 20.25 from both sides of the equation
4.75 = BC^2
Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation
2.1794 = BC
Rounded up to the nearest tenth, the distance from the hook to the top of the frame will be 2.2 inches
<u>Answer:</u>
x = 4 (extraneous solution)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
This solution is extraneous. Reason being that even if it can be solved algebraically, it is still not a valid solution because if we substitute back , we will get two fractions with zero denominator which would be undefined.
