Question 122775: a) Show the steps that you would take to solve the following algebraically: 5-2/x-6=10-2x/x-6
b) What potential solution did you obtain? Explain why this is not a solution.

___________________________________________-
6) a) If y=sqrt x+2 , fill in the following table for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Round to three decimal places where necessary.

x y
0
1
2
3
4

Show your work here:

b) Explain why no negative values are chosen as values to substitute in for x.


c) Graph
thanks so much in advance

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A.)
x y
0 2 0^2+2=2
1 3 1^2+2=3
2 6 2^2+2=6
3 11 3^2+2=11
4 18 4^2+2=18

B.) There are no negative values because of the squared "x" in the beginning of the problem. A negative multiplied by another negative will always be a positive.

C.) The Graphs vertex (central point) is (0,2) and two other points to make the graph include (2,6) and (-2,6).
