hartnn (hartnn):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the answer to the first question be -4?

hartnn (hartnn):

sorry for late reply for 1st, square both sides x+4 = (x-2)^2 can you solve the quadratic to get 2 vales of x?? one of them is extraneous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got x=(5,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug 5 and 0 in the original equation and see what happens. remember radical will give you only positive solution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example lets see 5 \[\Large \sqrt{5+4}=5-2\] \[\Large \sqrt{9}=3\] \[\Large 3=3\] now try zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@kittymeow101 there? put 0 in the original equation and see if both sides of '=' are same or not. if both sides are equal then 0 is not an extraneous root.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sami-21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 0 is the extraneous root then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ty, so could you help with no.12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sami-21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the answer be option B

hartnn (hartnn):

yes :)
