In mathematics, a solution to an equation that emerges from the process of solving the problem but is not a valid solution to the problem is called:

  • (a) Homogeneous
  • (b) Heterogeneous
  • (c) Extraneous
  • (d) Identical
  • In math, an extraneous solution is a root that “comes out” during the process of solving an equation, usually because of a process like squaring both sides or multiplying by a variable. It appears to be a correct solution, but when you put it into the original equation, it does not work. So, an extraneous solution is a result of a process, but it is not a correct solution to the original problem.
  • - (a) Homogeneous: An equation that is homogeneous has all terms of the same degree, or a constant term equal to zero. This term has nothing to do with a correct or incorrect solution.
  • - (b) Heterogeneous: Usually, this term is related to a combination of different substances, not to a type of solution.
  • - (d) Identical: An identity is true for all values of all variables. This is the exact opposite of an incorrect, or “extra,” solution.
