Question 8

The solution set of the equation $$\sqrt{x^2 - 4x + 4} + (x - 2) = 0$$ is _______


Correct Answer: 0

Solution

PLACEHOLDER ANSWER - the answer is an interval. $$\sqrt{x^2 - 4x + 4} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2} = |x - 2|$$, so the equation is $$|x - 2| = -(x - 2)$$. This holds exactly when $$x - 2 \le 0$$, so the solution set is $$(-\infty, 2]$$.
