Solve the rational equation x divided by 2 equals x squared divided by quantity x minus 2 end quantity, and check for extraneous solutions. No solution
x = 0 and x = −2
x = −2; x = 0 is an extraneous solution
x = 0; x = −2 is an extraneous solution

Dropping less than two inches per mile after emerging from the mountains, a river drains into the ocean. one day's discharge at its mouth, 5.6 trillion gallons, could supply all of country a's households for seven months. based on this statement, determine how much water an average household uses each month. assume that there are 100 million households in country a. country a uses approximately nothing gallons per household per month.

Identify the function that contains the data in the following table: x     -2         0         2         3         5     f(x)     5         3         1         2         4     possible answers: f(x) = |x| + 1 f(x) = |x - 2| f(x) = |x - 2| - 1 f(x) = |x - 2| + 1

Talia grouped the terms and factored out the gcf of the groups of the polynomial 15x2 – 3x – 20x + 4. her work is shown below. (15x2 – 3x) + (–20x + 4) 3x(5x – 1) + 4(–5x + 1) talia noticed that she does not have a common factor. what should she do?
