I can’t see the image mc023-1.jpg. Could you paste the equation here or re-upload the image?
How to find the extraneous solution (quick method)
- An extraneous solution is one that appears when you manipulate the equation (for example, by squaring both sides or multiplying by an expression) but does not satisfy the original equation.
- To identify it, substitute each candidate (p = −4, −2, 0, 4) into the original equation. Any candidate that makes the original equation false or makes it undefined (e.g., zero denominator, negative inside an even root) is extraneous.
If you paste the equation I’ll check all four choices and show the work.
