Select the correct answer. What is the solution to the equation?

Mathematics

Ierofanga [76]3 years ago

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{x} + 6 = x ( subtract 6 from both sides )

\sqrt{x} = x - 6 ( square both sides )

x = (x - 6)² ← expand using FOIL

x = x² - 12x + 36 ( subtract x from both sides )

0 = x² - 13x + 36 , that is

x² - 13x + 36 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4)(x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

As a check

Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions.

x = 4

left side = \sqrt{4} + 6 = 2 + 6 = 8

right side = x = 4

Since 8 ≠ 4 then x = 4 is an extraneous solution

x = 9

left side = \sqrt{9} + 6 = 3 + 6 = 9

right side = x = 9

Thus the solution is x = 9 → B

Answer please lot's of points.

Answer:

t≈8.0927

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 128t +12

We want to find when h(t) is zero ( or when it hits the ground)

0 =  -16t^2 + 128t +12

Completing the square

Subtract 12 from each side

-12  =  -16t^2 + 128t

Divide each side by -16

-12/-16  =  -16/-16t^2 + 128/-16t

3/4 = t^2 -8t

Take the coefficient of t and divide it by 8

-8/2 = -4

Then square it

(-4) ^2 = 16

Add 16 to each side

16+3/4 = t^2 -8t+16

64/4 + 3/4= (t-4)^2

67/4 = (t-4)^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(67/4) =sqrt( (t-4)^2)

±1/2sqrt(67) = (t-4)

Add 4 to each side

4 ±1/2sqrt(67) = t

The approximate values for t are

t≈-0.092676

t≈8.0927

The first is before the rocket is launched so the only valid answer is the second one

Brad has two lengths of copper pipe to fit together one has a length of 2 5/12 feet and the other has a length of 3 7 12 ft how
leva [86]
To find the total length of the two copper pipes, we need to add them together.

2 5/12 + 3 7/12 = 5 12/12

Since 12/12 = 1 or a whole, we can simplify this further.

5 12/12 = 6

Hope this helps!
