Mathematics

Answer:

Third option: x=0 and x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{2x+4}-\sqrt{x}=2

Isolating √(2x+4): Addind √x both sides of the equation:

\sqrt{2x+4}-\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x}=2+\sqrt{x}\\ \sqrt{2x+4}=2+\sqrt{x}

Squaring both sides of the equation:

(\sqrt{2x+4})^{2}=(2+\sqrt{x})^{2}

Simplifying on the left side, and applying on the right side the formula:

(a+b)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2}; a=2, b=\sqrt{x}

2x+4=(2)^{2}+2(2)(\sqrt{x})+(\sqrt{x})^{2}\\ 2x+4=4+4\sqrt{x}+x

Isolating the term with √x on the right side of the equation: Subtracting 4 and x from both sides of the equation:

2x+4-4-x=4+4\sqrt{x}+x-4-x\\ x=4\sqrt{x}

Squaring both sides of the equation:

(x)^{2}=(4\sqrt{x})^{2}\\ x^{2}=(4)^{2}(\sqrt{x})^{2}\\ x^{2}=16 x

This is a quadratic equation. Equaling to zero: Subtract 16x from both sides of the equation:

x^{2}-16x=16x-16x\\ x^{2}-16x=0

Factoring: Common factor x:

x (x-16)=0

Two solutions:

1) x=0

2) x-16=0

Solving for x: Adding 16 both sides of the equation:

x-16+16=0+16

x=16

Let's prove the solutions in the orignal equation:

1) x=0:

\sqrt{2x+4}-\sqrt{x}=2\\ \sqrt{2(0)+4}-\sqrt{0}=2\\ \sqrt{0+4}-0=2\\ \sqrt{4}=2\\ 2=2

x=0 is a solution


2) x=16

\sqrt{2x+4}-\sqrt{x}=2\\ \sqrt{2(16)+4}-\sqrt{16}=2\\ \sqrt{32+4}-4=2\\ \sqrt{36}-4=2\\ 6-4=2\\ 2=2

x=16 is a solution


Then the solutions are x=0 and x=16

Which of the following could be its equation?
mrs_skeptik [129]

So to solve problems like these you can work out each equation by substituting the x and y with the coords from the vertex (2,-4) and which ever one is true is the corresponding equation.

Lets try the first one

A) y = 2( x-2)^2-4    this would become

  -4 = 2(2-2)^2-4    we solve this and get

   -4 = 2(0)-4

   -4 = -4  

so it seems like A is the correct answer, of course we'd wanna check out the other answers just to be sure.

Lets try one and do C

C)  -2 = 2(-4-2)^2+2  

    -2 = 2(-8)^2+2

    -2 = 130

These aren't equal so this can't be our equation


So you can also do one more just to be super sure you have the right answer but I think A is the correct one :)
