64 POINT QUESTION √(5-2x) - √(2-x) = 1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 2 and x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way is to guess. We know that you can't have a square root of a negative number. This constrains x between negative infinity to 2. Testing 2 and -2, we see that it satisfy the equation.

The more systematic approach is shown below

\sqrt{5-2x}-\sqrt{2-x}=1 \\\sqrt{5-2x}-\sqrt{2-x}+\sqrt{2-x}=1+\sqrt{2-x} \\\sqrt{5-2x} = 1+\sqrt{2-x}

5-2x=(1+\sqrt{2-x})^2\\5-2x=1+2\sqrt{2-x}+2-x\\2-x=2\sqrt{2-x}\\1-0.5x=\sqrt{2-x}\\(1-0.5x)^2=2-x\\1-x+0.25x^2=2-x\\0.25x^2-1=0\\0.25x^2 = 1\\x^2 = 4\\x = +/-2

x= -2, 2

Complete the equation of the line through (6,3) and (-10,-5).
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:Step 1) Find the slope.

Step 2) Using the slope, one of the points and the point-slope formula determine the equation.

The slope can be found by using the formula:

m

=

y

2

−

y

1

x

2

−

x

1

Where

m

is the slope and

(

x

1

y

1

)

and

(

x

2

y

2

)

are the two points.

Substituting the points we are given in this problem the slope is:

m

=

Now we can use one of the points we were given, the slope we determined and the point-slope formula to find the equation for the line.

The point-slope formula states:

(

y

)

=

m

(

Where

m

is the slope and

y

)

is a point the line passes through.

y

(

x

If we want to put this into slope-intercept form we can solve for

y

:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 5(2 - x)

f(-3) is x = -3

<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>

  1. Substitute:                    f(-3) = 5(2 - -3)
  2. Simplify:                        f(-3) = 5(2 + 3)
  3. Add:                              f(-3) = 5(5)
  4. Multiply:                        f(-3) = 25
