Answer:
- x = ±√3, and they are actual solutions
- x = 3, but it is an extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The method often recommended for solving an equation of this sort is to multiply by the product of the denominators, then solve the resulting polynomial equation. When you do that, you get ...
... x^2(6x -18) = (2x -6)(9)
... 6x^2(x -3) -18(x -3) = 0
...6(x -3)(x^2 -3) = 0
... x = 3, x = ±√3
_____
Alternatively, you can subtract the right side of the equation and collect terms to get ...
... x^2/(2(x -3)) - 9/(6(x -3)) = 0
... (1/2)(x^2 -3)/(x -3) = 0
Here, the solution will be values of x that make the numerator zero:
... x = ±√3
_____
So, the actual solutions are x = ±3, and x = 3 is an extraneous solution. The value x=3 is actually excluded from the domain of the original equation, because the equation is undefined at that point.

<em>Comment on the graph</em>
For the graph, we have rewritten the equation so it is of the form f(x)=0. The graphing program is able to highlight zero crossings, so this is a convenient form. When the equation is multiplied as described above, the resulting cubic has an extra zero-crossing at x=3 (blue curve). This is the extraneous solution.
Answer:
1) 0.53
2) 0.1615
Step-by-step explanation:
1) ______ + 0.37 = 0.9
______ = 0.9 - 0.37 = 0.53
2)______ - 0.0369 = 0.1246
______ = 0.1246 + 0.0369 = 0.1615
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Terms are separated from one another by + and/or - signs. In this case neither appears, so the given expression constitutes a single term.
Answer:
Switching the Beast from Beauty and the Beast with Ariel From the Little Mermaid.
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine the Beast being a merman o-o
The area of a rectangle is obtained through the equation,
A = L x W
The width of the yard is 4 ft less than the length and may be expressed as L - 4. Length may be solved through the following steps,
A = (L)(L-4) ; 96 = L(L - 4) ; L = 12 ft
The length and width are 12 ft and 8 ft, respectively. Perimeter may be solved through the equation,
P = 2 x (L + W)
Substituting the values of L and W
P = 2 x ( 12 ft + 8 ft) = 40 ft
Therefore, the perimeter of the yard is 40 ft.
