Answer:
1. x = 12
2. 3∛4 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We are given the equation of x as and we have to find the extraneous solution of the equation.
Now, ............. (1)
⇒
Squaring both sides we get,
⇒ x - 3 = 81 - 18x + x²
⇒ x² - 19x + 84 = 0
⇒ x² - 12x - 7x + 84 = 0
⇒ (x - 12)(x - 7) = 0
⇒ x = 12 or 7.
Now, putting x = 12 in the equation (1) we get,
Again, putting x = 7 in the equation (1) we get,
Therefore, x = 12 is an extraneous solution of this equation. (Answer)
2. The volume of a cube with side lengths a ft. is given to be 108 ft³.
So, a³ = 108
⇒ a = 3∛4 feet.
Therefore, the length of the sides of the cube are each 3∛4 feet. (Answer)
