Question 21

Revolt · Accepted Answer

No, the student is incorrect. When solving the equation, the algebraic solution found is a = –2. However, this value must be checked against the restrictions of the original equation. Substituting –2 into the denominators (a + 2) and (a^2 – 4) results in division by zero, which is undefined. Therefore, a = –2 is an extraneous solution, and the original rational equation actually has no solution.
