(Multiple Choice, 20 pts) Solve the rational equation x divided by 4 equals x squared divided by quantity x plus 2 end quantity, and check for extraneous solutions.

A. x = two thirds; 0 is an extraneous solution
B. x = 0; x = two thirds is an extraneous solution
C. x = 0 and x = two thirds
D. No solution

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Cross-multiply

x² + 2x = 4x²

Step 2: Isolate x's

2x = 3x²

0 = 3x² - 2x

Step 3: Factor

x(3x - 2) = 0

Step 4: Find roots

x = 0, x = 2/3

Step 5: Double check answers.

When you do so, you should see that only x = 0 works. And we have our answer!

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

what are the statments
