Answer:

LETTER D (none)

Step-by-step explanation:

√2-x = x-2

(√2-x)² = (x-)²

2-x = x²-4x+4

0 = x²-4x+x+4-2

0 = x²-3x-2

0 = (x-2)(x-1)

0 = x-2 and 0 = x-1

2 = x and 1 = x

Therefore , the roots are 1 and 2

To check the extraneous root , we will substitute the value of x which are 1 and 2

For x = 1

√2-x = x-2

√2-1 = 1-2

√1 = -1

±1 = -1 , it is true

For x = 2

√2-x = x-2

√2-2 = 2-2

√0 = 0

0 = 0 , it is true

Now , we conclude that there are no extraneous root for the solutions
