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: Answer is 3
BC 6
------ = ------
XY 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The statements below can be used to prove that the triangles are similar.
On a coordinate plane, right triangles A B C and X Y Z are shown. Y Z is 3 units long and B C is 6 units long.
A B Over X Y = 4 Over 2
?
A C Over X Z = 52 Over 13
△ABC ~ △XYZ by the SSS similarity theorem.
Which mathematical statement is missing?
1. Y Z Over B C = 6 Over 3
2. ∠B ≅ ∠Y
3. B C Over Y Z = 6 Over 3
4. ∠B ≅ ∠Z
512 is the coefficient of the x9y-term
The average rate of change (m) is the ratio of the change in function value to the width of the interval:
m = (f(6) - f(2))/(6 - 2)
To compute this, we need to compute f(6) and f(2).
f(6) = (0.25*6 -0.5)*6 +3.5 = 9.5
f(2) = (0.25*2 - 0.5)*2 +3.5 = 3.5
Then the average rate of change is
m = (9.5 - 3.5)/(6 - 2) = 6/4 = 1.5
The average rate of change is 1.5 thousand owners per year.
