## LaynaMae Group Title Helppp !! Mr. Jones is asked to write two types of radical equations for the SAT Prep Course. The first solution to the radical equation must be extraneous. The second solution to the radical equation must be non-extraneous. Write one equation where the solution is extraneous. Then write a second equation where the solution is non-extraneous. Using complete sentences, explain each step when solving to justify your examples. 8 months ago 8 months ago

i believe albert einstein is dead if im not mistaken am i right

2. LaynaMae Group Title

Unfortunately, you are correct ...

3. dave6heat Group Title

what math class are you in

4. LaynaMae Group Title

Algebra 2

5. dave6heat Group Title

regular not AP not Honors

6. LaynaMae Group Title

Algebra 2 lol ... Regular

7. dave6heat Group Title

oh man!!!!!! what's wrong with teachers now days they are killing students brain cells

8. dave6heat Group Title

too much excessive work

9. LaynaMae Group Title

I have little to no brain cells left as a result of mathematics period lol

10. dave6heat Group Title

LOL well tells mr. Jones that ur contract for Algebra 2 expired LOL im a senior in hig school and i have college readiness Math preparing u for PERT

11. LaynaMae Group Title

Lol i'm a senior also . Well , thanks for lightening the mood a bit but I really gotta get some help to get this done lol .

12. dave6heat Group Title

well as they always say!!! at first if you don't succeed try and try again!!!!! do i get a medal now? LOL

13. LaynaMae Group Title

Haha you get a medal in my book . But I should probably safe it for someone who answers the question :p

14. dave6heat Group Title

nice talkin to u though I want to become a fan

15. LaynaMae Group Title

Go for it haha

16. dave6heat Group Title

will do

17. tkhunny Group Title

$$\sqrt{x-4} = -3$$

18. LaynaMae Group Title

@tkhunny i don't know what that is .. you gave me no explanation ..

19. tkhunny Group Title

I was just seeing if you were paying attention. What is the first request of the problem statement? "The first solution to the radical equation must be extraneous." That is a quick example of a radical equation with an extraneous solution.

20. LaynaMae Group Title

Ohh ! Okay ! Clever lol .

21. LaynaMae Group Title

@tkhunny ? You left me D:

22. kittiwitti1 Group Title

.-. I hate story math. --- However, that aside, I must ask you to not explicitly state things like "automatic medal and fan" because that is not the website's purpose. The purpose of OpenStudy is for students to help each other on homework and strengthen their own learning abilities, as well as develop other core skills not commonly practiced in the classroom, NOT helping people for the benefit of fame or followers. Therefore, please remove that part from your post, thanks. I apologize if I sounded rude.

23. LaynaMae Group Title

Lol yeah , that was kinda rude . I have seen that posted everywhere . Nothing gets said about it any other time . There is no rule stating that I cannot say that . Considering they are both FEATURES on this website . I was stating that so everyone was aware .

24. tkhunny Group Title

I don't really care about medals or fans. I'm hoping to see you learn the material you need. Can you write a radical equation with both extraneous and non-extraneous solutions?

25. LaynaMae Group Title

I would need to read up on what extraneous means , then I shall be able to answer that for you ! Give me a few moments to make sure I get it right :)

26. kittiwitti1 Group Title

Well, I did apologize, and I just don't want you to get into trouble, so could you please take it off? :)

27. LaynaMae Group Title

Also , since you're so kind . I will go ahead and award you that fan and medal :) @kittiwitti1 if it helps you sleep at night , sure . I should care about "getting in trouble" , but I don't .. but since you asked so nicely .. why not

28. kittiwitti1 Group Title

Thanks (: I'm sorry if I offended or annoyed you in any way. I didn't mean it like that :p

29. LaynaMae Group Title

It's fine . Not a big deal really .

30. LaynaMae Group Title

Okay well a radical equation with an extraneous solution could be: 1 = sqrt of x/3 - 2

31. LaynaMae Group Title

@tkhunny

32. tkhunny Group Title

Sorry, the website is not working very well. I'm getting no notifications. I jsut have to check back when I can. Is that this $$1 = \sqrt{x/3} - 2$$?

33. LaynaMae Group Title

Omg same here ! And yes , that's correct haha .

34. tkhunny Group Title

Let's see... $$3 = \sqrt{x/3}$$ 9 = x/3 x = 27 Checking $$3 = \sqrt{27/3}$$?? $$3 = \sqrt{9}$$?? $$3 = 3$$?? That is a non-extraneous solution.

35. tkhunny Group Title

If you changed it to +2 you would have a bad one.

36. LaynaMae Group Title

My work is completely different ...

37. tkhunny Group Title

Anything like this will do... $$x = \sqrt{something}$$ that leads to "Something" less than zero.

38. tkhunny Group Title

... or x < 0

39. LaynaMae Group Title

Omg I think I get it now lol . No need to explain further :) I remember doing this now lol . Thank you so much though you really helped a lot !

40. tkhunny Group Title

Well, then you are awesome!!! Just a little shove in the right direction. Excellent work.

41. LaynaMae Group Title

Thank you again you have no clue how much I appreciate your help ! I might need your help on one more question though .. Just let me answer this one real quick in my document
