If x^2 = x+1 wich of the followin is equal to x^3?

A. x+2
B. x+3
C. 2x
D. 2x+1
E. 4x+2

can someone helps with this one too?

x^3 + 1 = (x + 1)(x^2 - x + 1)

Given that x^2 - x = 1, then:

x^3 + 1 = (x + 1)(x^2 - x + 1) = (x + 1)(1 + 1) = 2x + 2

Finally, since x^3 + 1 = 2x + 2, then x^3 = 2x + 1.

Answer: D.

That's a known algebraic property of factoring x^3 + 1. Having said that, it's not something you'd need to know for the GMAT.

but this is a question from the official mocks

There is an easier way to solve this question without that property:

If x^2 = x+1 which of the following is equal to x^3?

A. x+2
B. x+3
C. 2x
D. 2x+1
E. 4x+2

x^3 = x^2*x

Since given that x^2 = x + 1, then:

x^3 = x^2*x = (x + 1)x = x^2 + x

Again, since x^2 = x + 1, then:

x^3 = x^2*x = (x + 1)x = x^2 + x = (x + 1) + x = 2x + 1.

Answer: D.

1) 4x + 4 = 0
4x= -4
x=-1
Sufficient

2) (x + 2)^2 = x^2
by taking square root on both sides. we get
x+2=x
we cant get any result
which is insufficient.
How statement 2 can we sufficient
??? Someone please guide me

What is the value of x?

(1) 4x + 4 = 0

(2) (x + 2)^2 = x^2

https://gmatclub.com/forum/what-is-the- ... 20517.html

correct answer to this question must be answer OPTION A

The correct answer to that question is D, not A. You can check the Official Answer (OA) of a question under the spoiler in the first post.

There, (2) is also sufficient because when you expand the left hand side you'd get:

x^2 + 4x + 4 = x^2;
4x + 4 = 0;
4x = -4;
x = -1.

Sufficient.

Hope it's clear.

No. Recall that \(\sqrt{a^2}=|a|\). Thus, taking the square root from both sides gives |x + 2| = |x|, which gives x = -1 only.

When I plotted |x+2|=|x| on graph. Multiple values of x are coming? I not getting exact value of x

yes this part is clear...Iwas trying to solve in another way by modulus function method

This year Zack will save certain amount of his income, and he will spend the rest.
Next year Zack will have no income, but for each dollar that he saves this year, he will
have (1 + r) dollar available to spend. In terms of r, what fraction of his income should
Zack save this year so that next year the amount available for his spending will be equal to half the amount that he spends this year?
A) 1/(r+2) B) 1/(2r+2)
C) 1/(r+3)
D) 1/(2r+3) E) None of these
