how many solutions exists root(x+5)=xroot(x+5)
Read Solution (Total 13)
-
- root(x+5)= xroot(x+5)
=> root(x+5)- xroot(x+5) = 0
=> root(x+5)*(1-x)= 0
=> x = 1 , -5
two soln. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(29) No(9)
- (x+5)=x^2(x+5)
=(x+5)(x^2-1)=0
=x^2-1=0
=x^2=1
=x=+1,-1
x=-5
thus 3 solution exists - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(14) No(11)
- squaring both sides we get
x^3+5x^2-x-5=0
=>x^2(x+5)-1(x+5)=0
=>(x+1)(x-1)(x+5)=0
=>x=1,-1,-5 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(2)
- And: 2. 1,-5 are only solutions. As -1 satisfies the equation after squaring but not the original one.

- x=1 only one solution exist
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(4)
- x^2(x+5)=(x+5)
(x+5)(x^2-1)=0
x=-5
x=+1
x=-1
hence there are three soln. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- root(x+5)=x root(x+5)
we take square of both sides
=> (x+5)=x^2(x+5)--- (1)
=>(x+5)(x^2-1)=0
=> x=-5, 1, -1
but from eq (1), (x+5)/(x+5)=x^2; so, here x= -5 is not possible and when put x= -1 in original eq. then it doesn't satisfy.
so, X= 1 (only 1 solution )

- puja sing ..question is correct
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- options are 1 2 3 4
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- (x+5)=x^2(x+5)
x+5=x^3+5x^2
so value of x can be upto 3 values - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- @pooja bala singh,
root(x+5) = x root(x+5)
either both sides root(x+5) can be cancelled out an d x = 1
or after squaring both sides (x+5) can be cancelled out and x^2 = 1 will gives two solns of x .i.e +-1.
i am getting confused..

- @AK
In this case we cant cancel anything bco'z we have to find maximum solution of x. So, We could also cancel term without squring. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
