Given :
A carton of 12 eggs or a carton of 18 eggs was the better buy. A carton of 12 eggs cost $2.39, and a carton of 18 eggs cost $3.39. Unit price of the 12-egg carton = ($2.39)(12 eggs) = $28.68 per egg Unit price of the 18-egg carton = ($3.39)(18 eggs) = $61.02 per egg The 12-egg carton has the lower unit cost, so it is the better buy.
To Find :
What was her first error.
Solution :
Her first error is to find Unit price of egg in each carton.
To find, unit price we should divide total amount by number of units :
Unit price for carton of 12 eggs, $ (2.39)/12 = $0.199 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
Remember that an extraneous solution of an equation is a solution that emerges from the algebraic process of solving the equation but is not a valid solution of the equation.
First, we are going to solve our equation algebraically:
Step 1 simplify the equation:


Step 2 subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:


Step 3 square both sides of the equation:


Next, we are going to replace our solution in our original equation and check if it is a valid solution:




Since 9 is not equal to 1,
is not valid solution of the equation; therefor it is an extraneous solution.
We can conclude that the correct answer is: x = 16, solution is extraneous

Answer:
OPtion I is right
Step-by-step explanation:
Once we know sin of an angle, and it lies in II quadrant, we know that
cos, sec, tan and cot would be negative but csc will be positive.
So use the fact that

Thus cos is obtained using negative square root.
Now tan = sin/cos, and sec = 1/cos:
cot =1/tan and csc =1/sin
Thus all value can be obtained easily
So option I
