Concept explainers

A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.

Algebraic Expressions

In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.

Numbers

Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.

Subtraction

Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Addition

Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

M = log The formula determines the magnitude of an earthquake, where / is the intensity of the earthquake and S is the intensity of a "standard earthquake." How many times stronger is an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 than an earthquake with a magnitude of 6? Show your work.

Now consider equations of the form ×-a=v = √bx + c, where a, b, and c are all positive integers and b>1. (f) Create an equation of this form that has 7 as a solution and an extraneous solution. Give the extraneous solution. (g) What must be true about the value of bx + c to ensure that there is a real number solution to the equation? Explain.

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.
