Answer:

x = 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

√(x - 2) + 8 = x

√(x - 2) = x - 8

Square both sides:

x - 2 = x^2 - 16x + 64

x^2 - 17x + 66 = 0

(x - 6)(x - 11) = 0

x = 6, 11.

Test for an extraneous solution:

x = 6:

Left side = √(6-2) + 8 = 10

Right side = 6

x = 11:

Left side = √9 + 8 = 11

Right side =  11

So x = 6 is extraneous.

Which expression can be used to find the price of a $400 telescope after a 32% markup? Select all that apply.
blagie [28]
<h3>Option D</h3><h3>The expression can be used to find the price of a $400 telescope after a 32% markup is: 400 + 400 (0.32 )</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Price of telescope = $ 400

Mark up = 32 %

To find: Cost after mark up

The formula used is:

<h3>Cost after mark up = Price of telescope + 32 % of Price of telescope</h3>

Therefore,

Cost after mark up = 400 + 32 % of 400

\text{Cost after mark up } = 400 + \frac{32}{100} \times 400\\\\\text{Cost after mark up } = 400 + 0.32 \times 400\\\\\text{Cost after mark up } = 400 + 128\\\\\text{Cost after mark up } = 528

Thus cost after mark up is $ 528 and expression is 400 + 400 (0.32 )

What is the length of segment XY?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

StartRoot 53 EndRoot units

XY = √53

Step-by-step explanation:

Choose which is point 1 and point 2 so you don't confuse the coordinates.

Point 1 (–4, 0)    x₁ = –4   y₁ = 0

Point 2 (3, 2)      x₂ = 3    y₂ = 2

Use the formula for the distance between two points.

L = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

XY = \sqrt{(3-(-4))^{2} + (2-0)^{2}}

XY = \sqrt{49 + 4}

XY = \sqrt{53}

Therefore the line of segment XY is √53.
