What reasoning and explanations can be used when solving radical equations?

Answers

Answer 1
A good thing to remember when solving radical equations is "get rid of radicals". If possible, square both sides of the equation or multiply by whatever order radicals you have. It is generally easier to solve equations when you don't have radicals
Answer 2

Answer:

The common reasoning that can be use while solving a radical equation are shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radical equations are the equations which contains radical expressions like [tex]\sqrt{x}\text{ and }\sqrt{x+2}[/tex], etc.

If a radical expression is defined as [tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex], then the sign [tex]\sqrt{}[/tex] is the radical and x is radicand.

The common reasoning that can be use while solving a radical equation are:

1. Isolate or separate the radical expression.

2. To remove radical square both sides of the equation.

3. After that solve the equation to find the unknown variable

4. Check the answer for solution or extraneous solution.

For example:

[tex]\sqrt{x+1}+1=x[/tex]

subtract 1 from both sides.

[tex]\sqrt{x+1}=x-1[/tex]

Taking square on both sides.

[tex]x+1=(x-1)^2[/tex]

On simplification we get

[tex]x+1=x^2-2x+1[/tex]

[tex]0=x^2-2x+1-x-1[/tex]

[tex]0=x^2-3x[/tex]

[tex]0=x(x-3)[/tex]

Using zero product property,

[tex]x=0,x-3=0\Rightarrow x=3[/tex]

Check the equation for x=0,

[tex]LHS=\sqrt{0+1}+1=1+1=2\neq 0=RHS[/tex]

Since LHS is not equal to RHS, therefore 0 is an extraneous solution.

Check the equation for x=3,

[tex]LHS=\sqrt{3+1}+1=2+1=3=RHS[/tex]

Since LHS is equal to RHS, therefore 3 is an solution.

what is the solution of -8/2y-8=5/y+4 - 7y+8/y^2-16? y = –4 y = –2 y = 4 y = 6

Answers

Please clarify whether you meant (-8/2)y or   -8 / (2y - 8).

It's always a good idea to use parentheses for clarity; it reduces or removes the need for guessing.

Here is my interpretation of your equation:

-8/2y-8=5/y+4 - 7y+8/y^2-16  becomes

-8 / (2y-8) = 5 / (y+4) - 7y + 8 / (y^2-16)   (note use of parentheses)

Factoring all of the denominators results in:

-8 / [2(y-4)] = 5 / (y+4) - 7y  + 8 / [(y-4)(y+4)]

The LCD is 2(y-4)(y+4).  You must multiply each and every term in the above equation by this LCD to clear fractions:

-8(y+4) = 5(2)(y-2) - 7(y+4)(y-4) + 8/2

Then -8y - 32 = 10y -20 -7y^2 + 4

I believe the "-7y^2" term is incorrect.


In retrospect, you could simply substitute each of the given answers (y-values), one at a time, to determine which, if any, makes the equation true:

-8 / (2y-8) = 5 / (y+4) - 7y + 8 / (y^2-16)   (note use of parentheses)

Let's test y = 4.  Is this a solution?  Subst. 4 for y in the above equation, we get:

-8 / (8-8) and several more terms.  No, 4 is not a solution, because 
-8 / (0) is undefined.  Eliminate y = 4 as a solution.  Try y = -4 and the other given possible solutions.  Do any of them make this equation true?

a line that intersects the points (-23,-17) and (-13,-7), find the slope, now fill in the missing inputs to the slope-intercept formula -17=1(?)+b or (?)=(-13)+b

Answers

The slope of the line can be calculated using the following formula:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

The given points are (-23,-17) and (-13,-7), therefore:
y2 = -7
y1 = -17
x2 = -13
x1 = -23

Substitute with these values to get the slope as follows:
slope (m) = (-7--17) / (-13--23) = 1

The formula of the slope-intercept is:
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the intercept.
Using the point (-23,-17), the formula would be:
-17 = 1(-23) + b
Using the point (-13,-7), the formula would be:
-7 = 1(-13) + b

Hi, How do you find the first and second derivatives of the function.
y=(x^2-7/63x) (x^4+1/x^3)

I think for the first derivative dy/dx it's 2/63x-3/63x^-3+4/9x^-5 but I'm not sure, and I have no clue for the second derivative d^2y/dx^2.

Answers

The first hand derivative of the function is [tex]6x^5 - \frac{35}{63}x^4 - \frac{1}{x^2} - \frac{4}{63x^3}[/tex] and the second derivative is [tex]30x^4 - \frac{20}{9}x^3 + \frac{2}{x^3} - \frac{2}{3x^4} \\[/tex].  To find the first derivative, apply the product rule to the given function. Then, differentiate the first derivative to obtain the second derivative. Simplify each step carefully.

To find the first derivative of the given function [tex]y = \left( x^2 - \frac{7}{63}x \right) \left( x^4 + \frac{1}{x^3} \right)[/tex], we'll use the product rule, which states that if [tex]y = u(x) \cdot v(x)[/tex], then [tex]y' = u' \cdot v + u \cdot v'[/tex].

First, define u(x) and v(x) as following:

[tex]u(x) = x^2 - \frac{7}{63}x = x^2 - \frac{1}{9}x[/tex][tex]v(x) = x^4 + \frac{1}{x^3}[/tex]

Compute u'(x):

[tex]u'(x) = 2x - \frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Compute v'(x):

[tex]v'(x) = 4x^3 + (-3)x^{-4} = 4x^3 - \frac{3}{x^4}[/tex]

Apply the product rule: [tex]y' = u' \cdot v + u \cdot v'[/tex]

Thus,

 [tex]y' = \left(2x - \frac{1}{9}\right)\left( x^4 + \frac{1}{x^3} \right) + \left( x^2 - \frac{1}{9}x \right) \left( 4x^3 - \frac{3}{x^4} \right)[/tex]

Simplify this expression step-by-step to find the first derivative.

 [tex]y' = \left(2x - \frac{1}{9}\right)\left( x^4 + \frac{1}{x^3} \right) + \left( x^2 - \frac{1}{9}x \right) \left( 4x^3 - \frac{3}{x^4} \right)[/tex][tex]y'[/tex] [tex]&= \left(2x \cdot x^4 + 2x \cdot \frac{1}{x^3} - \frac{1}{9} \cdot x^4 - \frac{1}{9} \cdot \frac{1}{x^3} \right)[/tex][tex]&\quad + \ \left( x^2 \cdot 4x^3 - x^2 \cdot \frac{3}{x^4} - \frac{1}{9}x \cdot 4x^3 + \frac{1}{9}x \cdot \frac{3}{x^4} \right)[/tex][tex]y'[/tex] [tex]&= 2x^5 + \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{1}{9}x^4 - \frac{1}{9x^3} \\[/tex] [tex]&\quad + \ 4x^5 - \frac{3}{x^2} - \frac{4}{9}x^4 + \frac{1}{3x^3}[/tex][tex]y'[/tex] [tex]&= 6x^5 - \frac{1}{x^2} - \frac{5}{9}x^4 + \frac{2}{9x^3}[/tex][tex]y'[/tex] [tex]&= 6x^5 - \frac{5}{9}x^4 - \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{2}{9x^3}[/tex]

To find the second derivative, differentiate the first derivative, carefully differentiating each term:

[tex]y'' &= \frac{d}{dx}\left( 6x^5 \right) - \frac{d}{dx}\left( \frac{5}{9}x^4 \right) - \frac{d}{dx}\left( \frac{1}{x^2} \right) + \frac{d}{dx}\left( \frac{2}{9x^3} \right) \\[/tex][tex]y''[/tex] [tex]&= 30x^4 - \frac{5}{9} \cdot 4x^3 - \left( -2x^{-3} \right) + \left( -\frac{2}{9} \cdot 3x^{-4} \right) \\[/tex][tex]y''[/tex] [tex]&= 30x^4 - \frac{20}{9}x^3 + \frac{2}{x^3} - \frac{2}{3x^4} \\[/tex]

So, for the function [tex]y = \left( x^2 - \frac{7}{63}x \right) \left( x^4 + \frac{1}{x^3} \right)[/tex], we have:

First derivative [tex](y')[/tex] [tex]&= 6x^5 - \frac{5}{9}x^4 - \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{2}{9x^3}[/tex]Second derivative [tex](y'')[/tex] [tex]&= 30x^4 - \frac{20}{9}x^3 + \frac{2}{x^3} - \frac{2}{3x^4} \\[/tex]

Students with better study methods and strategies score higher on their exams.Everyone is different, different methods work for different people the following are only suggestions on improving upon your current studying techniques.It is best to review the material right after class when it's still fresh in your memory.Don't try to do all your studying the night before the test. Instead space out your studying, review class materials at least several times a week, focusing on one topic at a time.
Have all of your study material in front of you: lecture notes, course textbooks, study guides and any other relevant material.
Find a comfortable and quiet place to study with good lighting and little distractions
(try avoiding your own bed, it is very tempting to just lie down and take a nap).
Start out by studying the most important information.
Learn the general concepts first, don't worry about learning the details until you have learned the main ideas.
Take notes and write down a summary of the important ideas as you read through your study material.
Take short breaks frequently. Your memory retains the information that you study at the beginning and the end better than what you study in the middle.
Space out your studying, you'll learn more by studying a little every day instead of waiting to cram at the last minute. By studying every day, the material will stay in your long-term memory but if you try to study at the last moment, the material will only reside in your short-term memory that you'll easily forget.
Make sure that you understand the material well, don't just read through the material and try to memorize everything.
If you choose to study in a group, only study with others who are serious about the test.
Test yourself or have someone test you on the material to find out what your weak and strong areas are. You can use the review questions at the end of each chapter or practice tests the teacher may give out as well as other materials.
Listening to relaxing music such as classical or jazz on a low volume can relieve some of the boredom of studying.
Don't study later than the time you usually go to sleep, you may fall asleep or be tempted to go to sleep, instead try studying in the afternoon or early evening. If you are a morning person try studying in the morning.

.08 dollars per ounce
Final answer:

The unit rate is the cost per ounce of soda. By dividing the total cost by the total ounces, we get the price per ounce in dollars ($0.08333), and converting this to cents gives us $8.3 cents per ounce.

Explanation:

The term unit rate refers to a rate in which the second term is 1. In this case, we want to find out how much 1 ounce of soda costs.

First, you want to divide the total cost of the bottle by the total ounces in the bottle. So you divide $2.25 by 27. The answer you get is the price of one ounce of soda in dollars. When calculating it, you get approximately $0.08333.

To get the rate in cents, convert the dollars to cents by multiplying by 100 (since 1 dollar is 100 cents). The answer ($8.33) is the cost of one ounce to the nearest tenth of a cent.

Answers

First, you would need to find out how many miles the boat can sail in 1 hour. To do this, you would divide the total number of miles traveled by the time it took to travel it. 
224 ÷ 4 = 56
56 mi/1 h

Next, you would multiply the number of miles the boat traveled, 56, by 10. 

56 x 10 = 560

The jet flew 560 mi/per hour

224/4 = 56 miles per hour

Two numbers total 53 and have a difference of 25. Find the two numbers.

Answers

Two numbers (x + y) equal (=) 53
and
have a difference (x - y) of (=) 25.

So, x + y = 53 and x - y = 25.

Solve one equation for a variable. We'll solve for x in the first equation.

x + y = 53   Subtract y from both sides
     x = 53 - y

Substitute x for (53 - y) in the second equation.

        x - y = 25     Substitute (53 - y) in the x spot
53 - y - y = 25     Combine like terms (-y and -y)
   53 - 2y = 25     Subtract 53 from both sides
          -2y = -28   Divide both sides by -2
             y = 14

Now, find x by plugging this y-value (14) into the first equation.

  x + y = 53   Substitute y for 14
x + 14 = 53   Subtract 14 from 53
       x = 39

Check both of your answers by plugging them into the original equations.

    x + y = 53   Plug in your numbers (39 and 14)
39 + 14 = 53   Add
       53 = 53

    x - y = 25   Plug in your numbers (39 and 14)
39 - 14 = 25   Subtract
      25 = 25

So, your answers are x = 39 and y = 14 .
