1)Is square root x squared =x an identity (true for all values of x)?
2) For the equation x-square root x=0, perform the following: a) solve for all values of x that satisfies the equation. b) Graph the functions y=x and y=square root x on the same graph (by plotting points if necessary). Show the points of intersection of these two graphs. c) How does the graph relate to part a? This question is from textbook college algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) No. sqrt(-3)^2 = sqrt(9)=3
2) x-sqrt x = 0
x = sqrtx
Square both sides to get:
x^2=x
x^2-x=0
x(x-1)=0
x=0 or x=1
Check the solutions in the original equation
Checking x=0: 0-sqrt0=0 OK
Checking x=1: 1-sqrt1=0 OK
3) I'll leave this to you to graph.
