Question 7

Name the true solution(s) to the equation.x = 0x = 1x = 8x = 0, x = 1, and x = 8 x = 1 and x = 8There are no solutions.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

= 1 and x = 8; Selection 1: x = 1 and x = 8; Selection 2: x = 0

Question 8

Question 11

Revolt · Accepted Answer

x = 1 and x = 8; x = 0

Question 9

Question 12

Revolt · Accepted Answer

No. Although solving the equation gives a = -2, substituting -2 makes two denominators in the original equation equal to zero. So -2 is an extraneous solution, and the original equation has no solution.

Question 10

From least to greatest, the solutions are x = [___] and x = [___].

Revolt · Accepted Answer
