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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ierofanga [76]2 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

The exclamation point (!) on a billboard consists of a circle sector and circle. The radius of the sector is 9 ft, and the radiu
harina [27]

Answer:

  24.0 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the sector is given by ...

  A = (1/2)r²θ . . . . . where θ is the angle in radians

The area of the circle is the same, with θ=2π, so is ...

  A = πr²

__

In this problem, the area of the sector is ...

  A = (1/2)(9 ft)²(24π/180) = 27π/5 ft² ≈ 16.9646 ft²

The area of the circle is ...

  A = π(1.5 ft)² = 9π/4 ft² ≈ 7.0686 ft²

Then the total area of the exclamation point is ...

  16.9646 +7.0686 ≈ 24.0 . . . ft²

The area is about 24.0 square feet.
