When does an equation involving rational expressions have straneous root

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Many mathematical operations are reversible, meaning you can go not just from A to B, but by the same reason go from B back to A.

Example x + 4 = 7. Subtract 4 from each side to get x = 7 - 4 = 3. But you could, if you wished, go from x = 3 to x + 4 = 7 by simply doing the opposite, adding 4.

Now consider an operation that is NOT reversible.

Example: Given sqrt(x) = x - 2. Square each side to get x = (x - 2)^2 =x^2 - 4x + 4, or

x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0. Factoring gives (x - 1) (x - 4) = 0. So, IF the original equation holds for a real number x, then the only possibilities are x = 1, x = 4.

If you plug x = 4 back into original equation, you get sqrt(4) = 4 - 2, which is true. But, if you plug in x = 1, you get sqrt(1) = 1 - 2, which is NOT true, as sqrt(1) = 1, not -1. The logic of the derivation was that, IF original equation were true, then x could possibly be only 1 and/or 4. In effect, it was really telling you what x is NOT, namely any number besides 1 and 4. Once you test the two “candidates” you see that one works and the other doesn’t.

Why does this happen? It has to do with the fact that square root is only a principal branch. Just as sqrt(16) is only 4 and not -4, so we are dealing with a limited possibility with which to start. Squaring glosses over this, and when you solve a quadratic equation, it generally gives two solutions (not nec. real). Because sqrt(x) started out to be nonnegative, that created the problem at end.

henry is 7 years older than his brother,ted.the sum of their ages is 23 years how old is each

Answers

Answer:

The answer is Henry is 15 and Ted is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Take 7 away from 23. You will then get 16.

Step 2: Divide 16 by 2. Your answer will then be 8.

8 will end up being Ted's age.

Step 3: Add 7 to 8. Once you do this, you will get Henry's age.

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1)

46.5 - 32.5 = 14

Q2)

There are 66 months in 5 and half years. So:

66 * 50 = 3,300.

Q3)

The rock travels 778 feet, from Omar to the bottom. Omar is sitting 22.2 feet from the surface of the pond. So the distance from the surface to the bottom of the pond is:

778 - 22.2 = 755.8 feet

Q4)

There are 42 months in 3 and half years. So

42 * 75 = $3,150

Q5)

The rock travels 556 feet, from Daniella to the bottom. Daniella is sitting 90.3 feet from the surface of the pond. So the distance from the surface to the bottom of the pond is:

465.7 feet

Q6).

She starts out with (-$450). She withdraws (I'm assuming she has a decent overdraft or something) another $1,250.80. Then buys (with money she doesn't have, further going into her overdraft) a pair of vapormax for $550. So you're just start at (-$450) and subtracting the other two values.

(-$450) - $1,250.80 - $550 = -$2250.80

I hope you typed that last question correctly.

Given are the points A(0,1) and B(4,-7). Find an equation (the point-slope form is perfectly acceptable) of the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB

Answers

Answer:

y + 3 = 1/2(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the given line using the coordinates of A and B.

The slope:

m = (-7 - 1)/4 = -2

Find the midpoint of segment AB:

x = (0 + 4)/2 = 2y = (1 - 7)/2 = -3

The perpendicular line has a slope of 1/2 ( opposite-reciprocal of -2) and passes through the point (2, -3).

The equation of this line is:

y - (-3) - 1/2(x - 2)y + 3 = 1/2(x - 2)

Slope-intercept form:

Abigail's math teacher finds that there's roughly a linear relationship between the
amount of time students spend on their homework and their weekly quiz scores. This
relationship can be represented by the equation y = 6.2 + 69, where y represents
the expected quiz score and I represents hours spent on homework that week. What
is the meaning of the s-value when y = 91?

Answers

The time taken by the student to complete the weekly quiz if she had 91 is 3.55 hours

Given the linear relationship between the  amount of time students spends on their homework and their weekly quiz scores expressed as:

y = 6.2s + 69

If the value of y is 91, we need to get the value of "s"

Substitute s = 91 into the function to have:

91 = 6.2s + 69

6.2s = 91 - 69

6.2s = 22

s = 22/6.2

s = 3.55

Hence the value of s when y is 91 is 3.55

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the points (7, 5) and (-4, -1)

Answers

Answer:

y - 5 = (-6/11)(x - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the points (7, 5) and (-4, -1), we see that x decreases by 11 (from 7 to -4) and y decreases by 6 (from 5 to -1).  Therefore, the slope of this line is  m = rise / run = -6 / 11.

Start with the point-slope form y - k = m(x - h).  Substitute the x- and y-coordinates of one of the given points for h and k in the above form:

y - k = (-6/11)(x - h)  =>  y - 5 = (-6/11)(x - 7)

This is the equation of the line in question, in point-slope form.
