Answer is 12 to your question
sqrt (5x - 9) - 1 = x
sqrt(5x - 9) = x + 1
Square both sides:_
5x - 9 = x^2 + 2x + 1
x^2 - 3x + 10 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0
x = 5 or -2.
Lets look for for any extraneous solutions:-
x = 5 ; sqrt (5*5-9) - 1 = sqrt16 - 1 = 3 and x = 3 (right hand side of equation)
so x = 5 is a solution
x = -2: sqrt(5*-2 - 9) - 1 = sqrt (-19) - 1 and x = -2 so this is extraneous
Answer:- One solution x = 5
Answer:
Option D. 5890.5 feet²
Step-by-step explanation:
An individual head of a sprinkler system covers a circular are of grass with a radius of 25 feet.
Yard has three sprinkler heads that each cover circular area with no overlap.
We have to calculate the approximate area watered by these 3 sprinkler heads.
Area covered by one sprinkler = π×r² = π×(25)² = 625π feet²
Therefore area covered by three sprinkler heads = 3 × 625π = 5892.85 feet²
which matches the approximate value of Option D. 5890.5 feet²
