The equation ×+ 2 = √3x+10 is of the form ×+ a = √bx + c, where a, b, and
c are all positive integers and b > 1. Using this equation as a
model, create your own equation that has extraneous solutions.
(d) Using trial and error with numbers for a, b, and c, create an
equation of the form x + a = √bx + c, where a, b, and c are all
positive integers and b>1 such that 7 is a solution and there
is an extraneous solution. (Hint: Substitute 7 for x, and
choose a value for a. Then square both sides so you can
choose a, b, and c that will make the equation true.)
(e) Solve the equation you created in Part 2a.
A basketball player made 12 out of 15 free throws she attempted.
She wants to know how many consecutive free throws she
would have to make to raise the percent of successful free
throws to 85%.
(a) Write an equation to represent this situation.
(b) Solve the equation. How many consecutive free throws
would she have to make to raise her percent to 85%?
A boat is 15 ft away from a point perpendicular to the shoreline. A
person stands at a point down the shoreline so that a 65° angle
