Given the equation −4Square root of x minus 3 = 12, solve for x and identify if it is an extraneous solution.

There is no solution for the given radical equation.

x = 225/16 is an extraneous solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is  

Add 3 to both sides of the equation

Squaring both sides

Divide both sides by 16

Substituting back the value of x in original equation to check the extraneous solution.

Since -18≠ 12. Hence, the value of x does not satisfy the equation.

Therefore, x = 225/16 is an extraneous solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
