Solve the equation. Identify any extraneous solutions. sqrt d=-6
please somebody help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is your answer. I can check it to see if it is right.
36 is a solution to the original equation.
that is my answer
Yes, 6 is correct.
To solve the equation √d = -6, we need to isolate the variable d.
1. Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root:
(√d)^2 = (-6)^2
This simplifies to:
d = 36
So the solution to the equation is d = 36. However, we need to check if this solution is extraneous, meaning it does not satisfy the original equation.
To verify if d = 36 is an extraneous solution, substitute it back into the original equation:
√d = -6
√(36) = -6
6 = -6
Since 6 is not equal to -6, this means the original equation has no solution.
Therefore, the equation √d = -6 has no solutions, and there are no extraneous solutions.
