Solve. Check for extraneous solutions. √5-x -√x=1

Answers

Answer 1

x = 4 is an extraneous solution.

√(5-x) -√x=1

√(5-x) = 1 + √x

Squaring both sides of the equations, we get

(√(5-x))² = (1 + √x)²

5 - x = 1 + x + 2√x

4 - 2x = 2√x

Squaring again both sides of the equations, we get

(4 - 2x)² = (2√x)²

16 + 4x² - 16x = 4x

4x² - 20x + 16 = 0         ...(1)

By middle term splitting equation (1) can be written as

4x² - 16x - 4x + 16 = 0  

4x(x - 4) -4(x - 4) = 0  

(x - 4) (4x - 4) = 0

4x - 4 = 0 and x - 4 = 0

x = 1 and 4

Check for Extraneous solution by putting value of x in the original equation -

Let x = 1

√(5-1) -√1=1

√4 - 1 = 1

2 -1 = 1

1 = 1

Since, LHS = RHS, so, x = 1 is not an extraneous solution

Let x = 4

√(5-4) -√4=1

√1 - 2 = 1

1 - 2 = 0

-1 = 0

which is a contradiction, so, x = 4 is an extraneous solution.

Let g(x)=5 x-2 and h(x)=x²+1 . Find the value of each expression. (g ⁰ h)(a)

Answers

For the functions g (x) = 5 x - 2 and h (x) = x² + 1, the value of the composite function g o h (a) will be 5 a² + 3.

We are given the functions:

g (x) = 5 x - 2

h (x) = x² + 1

We first need to find the composite function g o h (x).

So, we get that:

g o h (x) = g ( h (x) )

g o h (x) = 5 ( x² + 1 ) - 2

g o h (x) = 5 x ² + 5 - 2

g o h (x) = 5 x² + 3

Now, we need to find the value of the composite function for x = a. So, we get that:

g o h (x = a) = 5 (a)² + 3

g o h (a) = 5 a² + 3

Therefore, for the functions g (x) = 5 x - 2 and h (x) = x² + 1, the value of the composite function g o h (a) will be 5 a² + 3.

The length of a rectangle is 15 inches more than twice the width. if the perimeter is 54 inches, find the dimensions (p = 2l + 2w)

Answers

Answer:

length = 23 inches , width = 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

let width be w then length l = 2w + 15

the perimeter P is calculated as

P = 2l + 2w

given P = 54 , then

2(2w + 15) + 2w = 54

4w + 30 + 2w = 54

6w + 30 = 54 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

6w = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

w = 4

l = 2w + 15 = 2(4) + 15 = 8 + 15 = 23

the length is 23 inches and width is 4 inches

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, 2) and (-5, 0)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answers

The slope of the line that passes through (-4, 2) and (-5, 0), in simplest form is calculated as: 2.

How to Find the Slope of a Line that Passes through two Points?

The slope of a line (m) = change in y/change in x = y2 - y1/x2 - x1 or rise/run of the line.

Given the following points on the line:

(-4, 2) = (x1, y1)

(-5, 0) = (x2, y2)

Substitute the values into m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1:

Slope (m) of the line = (0 - 2) / (-5 - (-4))

Slope (m) of the line = (-2) / (-5 + 4)

Slope (m) of the line = -2/-1

Slope (m) of the line = 2

Thus, the slope of the line that passes through (-4, 2) and (-5, 0), in simplest form is calculated as: 2.

A right circular cylindrical metallic rod is 16 inches tall. The radius of the base is 4 inches. What is the surface area of this metallic rod, in terms of π? the choices are 150π 140π 145π and 160π​

Answers

Answer:

160π

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a right circular cylinder can be calculated using the following equation:

[tex]\boxed{\mathrm{Surface \ area = }2 \pi rh + 2 \pi r^2}[/tex] ,

where h is the height and r is the radius of the base of the cylinder.

We are told that the rod is 16 inches tall, therefore h = 16. We are also told that the radius of the base is 4 inches, therefore r = 4. Using this information along with the formula above, we can calculate the surface area of the metallic rod:

Surface area = [tex](2 \times \pi \times 4 \times 16) + (2 \times \pi \times (4)^2)[/tex]

                     = [tex]128\pi + 32\pi[/tex]

Find the inverse of each function. Is the inverse a function? f(x)=∛x-5

Answers

The inverse function is written as  [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex] =x³+15x²+75x+125 and the inverse is a function.

The inverse of a function is defined as the opposite function . Ideally we use a function to map the dependent variable y based on the independent variable x. Inverse function is the relation which defines the value of x depending on a particular value of y.

For an inverse function the domain of the function changes to the range and vice-versa.

Mathematically for a function defined as y=g(x) where g(x) is a polynomial of x . We solve the equation for x in terms of y.

Given function is g(x)=∛x-5

Therefore it can be written as

y= ∛x-5

or, y+5=∛x

Cubing both sides we get:

(y+5)³=(∛x)³

or, y³+15y²+75y+125=x

or, x=y³+15y²+75y+125

So the inverse function can be written as:

[tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex]=x³+15x²+75x+125 and the inverse function exists.

What is the square root of a number?

Finding an integer's square root is the inverse of squaring an integer. A number's square value is obtained by multiplying it by itself, whereas the square root of a number can be discovered by looking for a number that, when squared, produces the original value. It follows that a× a = b if "a" is the square root of "b." Every number has two square roots, one of a positive value and one of a negative value because the square of any number is always a positive number.

In the question given to us,

look at the table, we know

y = x - 2 → (1)

y = - 0.5x + 4 → (2)

substitute y = x - 2 into (2)

x - 2 = - 0.5x + 4 ( add 0.5x to both sides )

1.5x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )

1.5x = 6 ( divide both sides by 1.5 )

x = 4

substitute x = 4 into (1)

y = 4 - 2 = 2

a jogger begins her workout by jogging to a park, a distance of 12 miles. she then jogs home at the same speed, but along a different route. this return trip is 18 miles, and her time is one hour longer. find her jogging speed.

Answers

The jogging speed of the jogger is 6 miles/hour.

Given that:-

Distance from home to park = 12 miles

Distance from park tp home from a different route = 18 miles

It is also given that the time taken to reach home from park is 1 hour longer than the number of hours taken to reach park from home.

We have to find the speed of the jogger.

Let the time taken by jogger to reach park from home be t hours.

Hence, according to the data given in the question,

Time taken by jogger to reach home from park is (t+2) hours.

We know that,

Speed = distance/time

We know that the speed of jogger in each route is same.

Hence, we can write,

12/t = 18/(t+1)

2/t = 3/(t+1)

2(t+1) = 3t

2t+2 = 3t

t = 2 hours.

Hence, speed of the jogger = 12/2 = 6 = 18/(2+1) = 18/3.

What do we mean when we say "direct variation"?To give the reader a hint, direct variation equations use the same phrase.The phrase could be "directly proportional" or "directly varies."For example, the area of a square is proportional to the square of its side.The variational constant is k = 3 if y varies directly as x and y = 6 when x = 2.As a result, y = 3x is the direct variation equation.

So,

The initial statement is y = kx

Then to find y when x = -3.

K constant will be y/x ⇒ 1/-1.5That is y = kx ⇒ y = 1/-1.5 × x

When x = -3:
