Which one is not a valid value of x? √x^2–10x+25+12 √x=15 √x ? how do you solve this? here are the answers a)17.57 b)14.25 c)1.757 d)1.425 i need help! :(
Just plug in the options you have for x.
Then get rid of which one is not valid.
i got 17.57?
im not sure i dont want to get it wrong :(((((
let me see if i can read it
\[\sqrt{x^2-10x+25}+12\sqrt{x}=15\sqrt{x}\]?
its weird!
YEA THATS HOW IT LOOKS LIKE :D
<(*^*)>
ok lets see what we can do
\[\sqrt{x^2-10x+25}+12\sqrt{x}=15\sqrt{x}\] \[\sqrt{(x-5)^2}+12\sqrt{x}=15\sqrt{x}\] \[x-5+12x\sqrt{x}=15\sqrt{x}\] might be a good start
ok so far?
then maybe \[x-5=3\sqrt{x}\] after subtracting now we can solve without too much trouble
square both sides and get \[x^2-10x+25=9x\] then a quadratic equation \[x^2-19+x+25=0\]
no, make that \[x^2-19x+25=0\]
i get the following answers using the quadratic formula \[1.42,17.58\] rounded those are the only two
I chose 17.57 but i got wrong its okay i still love you :'(
