Solve the equation: √x+1 = x-1

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: √(x+1) = x - 1 \n \n x + 1 = (x - 1)^2 \n \n x + 1 = x^2 - 2x + 1 \n \n x = x^2 - 2x \n \n x - x^2 + 2x = 0 \n \n 3x - x^2 = 0 \n \n x(3 - x)= 0 \n \n x = 0,3 \n \n x = 0 \ is \ false \n \n x = 3

The final result is, x = 3.

The solutions we gather were x = 0,3. 
We dropped x = 0 from the equation since it does not become true, so we are left with x = 3. 
Answer 2
Answer: √x + 1 = x - 1
           ↓
      √x = x - 1 + 1
           ↓
      √x = x

Since 1 is the only real number whose square root equals itself, we can safely assume that x = 1.
Hope that helped! =)

Answer:

no . of items = 10

Position of mean = (n+1)/2

                            = 11/2 = 5.5th item

In the data 5.5 item is the average of 5th and 6th item

median = (x+2+x+4)/2

or 25= (2x+6)/2

or 50 = 2x +6

0r 2x = 44

x =22

Answer:

X=23

Step-by-step explanation:

11,13,15,19,_,_,30,39,46

The middle number is the first dash which is represented by x+2 which is equal to 25

25-2=23 which is x

Dash 2 which is represented by x+4 is equal to 23+4=27

Two friends take a drive around the city. When they get home, they look at the odometer and their watches, and determine they traveled 54 miles in 72 minutes. What was their average speed in miles per hour?

Answers

x miles per hour means that  x miles / 60 minutes 
If they traveled 54 miles / 72 minutes, so:
72 minutes - 60 minutes = 12 minutes 
(12)/(60) = 0,2
60 minutes = 1 
12 minutes = 0,2  
1 + 0,2 = 1,2 hour
V = s/t 
v - velocity or speed
s - linear distance traveled 
t - time, so...
 we must divide 54 miles by 1,2 hour = 54:1,2= 45
Now, as we all know...
Their average speed was 45 miles per hour.
the question asks for the speed in miles per hour, so first thing we have to do is convert 72 minutes into hours by dividing by 60: 1.2 hours.
speed = distance / time
speed = 54 miles / 1.2 hours
speed = 45 miles/hour aka miles per hour aka mph
