find the solution of the square root of the quantity of x plus 3 plus 4 equals 6 and determine if it is an extraneous solution
\[\sqrt{x+3}+4=6\] ???
solution: 2, not extraneous
Is this the question? $$\Large { \sqrt{x+3}+4=6 } $$
yes @perl
$$ \Large { \sqrt{x+3}+4=6 \\ \therefore \\ \sqrt{x+3}=6 - 4 \\ \therefore \\ \sqrt{x+3}=2 \\ \therefore \\ (\sqrt{x+3})^2=2^2 } $$
that isnt one of the answer choices
please finish the problem :)
Lisa, Perl is only trying to help you learn. Please try it out and he can help you some more.
Idk how to do it which is why I am here
did the last step make sense
no its where I got lost
ok does it make sense up to here, we can go back a step or two
yes it does
ok great :)
$$ \Large { \sqrt{x+3}+4=6 \\ \therefore \\ \sqrt{x+3}=6 - 4 \\ \therefore \\ \sqrt{x+3}=2 \\ \therefore \\ (\sqrt{x+3})^2=2^2 \\ \therefore \\ x+3=2^2 } $$
because \( \large (\sqrt{u})^2= u \)
squaring a square root cancels , for example \( \Large (\sqrt{4}) ^2 = 4\)
Alright so far I understand so the answer would be 1 not extraneous
the last step is to test the solution in the original equation
and that is correct,
really wow thanks so much
$$ \Large { \sqrt{\color{red}1+3}+4=6 } $$
your welcome :)
What do. You. Guys. Need help qith huh
