Which statement describes if there is an extraneous solution to equation square root of x - 3 = x - 5?

Remember that an extraneous solution of an equation, is the solution that emerges from solving the equation but is not a valid solution.

Lets solve our equation to find out what is the extraneous solution:

and  

and  

So, the solutions of our equation are  and . Lets replace each solution in our original equation to check if they are valid solutions:

- For  

We can conclude that 7 is a valid solution of the equation.

- For  

We can conclude that 4 is not a valid solution of the equation; therefore, 4 is a extraneous solution.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: D. the extraneous solution is x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
