Question

A student concluded that the solution to the

equation v2x+1+3=0 is x=4.
Do you agree? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

I do not agree with the student because there is no real solution.

Solving the equation only gives possible solutions, but you must check them in the original equation.

Checking the solution in the original equation shows that 4 is an extraneous solution.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The given equation is √2x+1+3=0

And we have been given that x= 4

I do not agree with the solution because it does not give any real solution. It only gives possible solution. If you plug the value 4 in the original equation you will get 8 and the square root of 8 is a complex number. Thus 4 is an extraneous solution....
