Question

Solve the radical equation cube root of x minus 2 equals 7 Check for extraneous solutions

hintHint:

Rearrange the equation and then solve for x.

The correct answer is: x = 729 works


    Complete step by step solution:
    Here we have the equation cube root of x minus 2 equals 7
    On rearranging, we have cube root of x equals 9

    not stretchy rightwards double arrow x to the power of 1 third end exponent equals 9
    To make the power of the equation as 1, we have to raise the equation by
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow x to the power of 1 third cross times 3 end exponent equals 9 cubed
    ⇒ x = 729
    On substituting the value of x in the equation, we get
    cube root of 729 minus 2 equals 7
    Hence x = 729 works.
    Hence there is no extraneous solution

    The body surface area (BSA) of a human being is used to determine doses of medication. The formula for finding BSA is BSA = square root of fraction numerator H cross times M over denominator 3600 end fraction end root ,where H is the height in centimeters and M is the mass in kilograms. A doctor calculates a particular dose of medicine for a patient whose BSA is less than 1.9. If the patient is 160 cm tall, what must the mass of the person be for the dose to be appropriate?
