Consider the radical equation square root of n+4 = n – 2. which statement is true about the solutions n = 5 and n = 0? a. the solution n = 5 is an extraneous solution. b. both n = 5 and n = 0 are true solutions. c. the solution n = 0 is an extraneous solution. d. neither are true solutions to the equation.

it's not D i took the test and got it wrong

C.The solution n = 0 is an extraneous solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

Squaring both sides we have:

Expanding the right side:

Or ,

n(n-5)=0

n=0 or n=5.

Checking the solution for n=0 in the above equation:

False .

For n=5.

True.

C.The solution n = 0 is an extraneous solution.

answer: a.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a. because, you need to converge the fractions to find a solution.
