Answer:

w= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{ - 4w + 61}  = w - 4

Square both sides:

-4w +61= (w -4)²

\boxed{(a - b)^{2}  = a^2 -2ab + b^2 }

Expand:

-4w +61= w² -2(w)(4) +4²

-4w +61= w² -8w +16

Simplify:

w² -8w +16 +4w -61= 0

w² -4w -45= 0

Factorize:

(w -9)(w +5)= 0

w -9= 0 or w +5= 0

w= 9 or w= -5 (reject)

Note:

-5 is rejected since we are only taking the positive value of the square root here. If the negative square root is taken into consideration, then w= -5 would give us -9 on both sides of the equation.

<u>Why </u><u>do </u><u>we </u><u>use </u><u>negative </u><u>square </u><u>root?</u>

When solving an equation such as x²= 4,

we have to consider than squaring any number removes the negative sign i.e., the result of a squared number is always positive.

In the case of x²= 4, x can be 2 or -2. Thus, whenever we introduce a square root, a '±' must be used.

However, back to our question, we did not introduce the square root so we should not consider the negative square root value.

Answer: w=9.

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{-4w+61}=w-4

Tolerance range:

\left \{ {{-4w+61\geq 0} \atop {w-4\geq 0}} \right. \ \ \ \ \left \{ {{4w\leq 61\ |:4} \atop {w\geq 4}} \right. \ \ \ \ \left \{ {{w\leq 15,25} \atop {w\geq 4}} \right. \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \ \\w\in[4;15,25].

Solution:

(\sqrt{-4w+61})^2=(w-4)^2\\-4w+61=w^2-2*w*4+4^2\\-4w+61=w^2-8w+16\\w^2-4w-45=0\\D=(-4)^2-4*1*(-45)\\D=16+4*45\\D=16+180\\D=196.\\\sqrt{D}=\sqrt{196}\\\sqrt{D}=14   \\w_{1,2}=\frac{-(-4)б14}{2} \\w_1=\frac{4-14}{2} \\w_1=\frac{-10}{2} \\w_1=-5\ \notin tolerance\  range.\\w_2=\frac{4+14}{2}\\ w_2=\frac{18}{2} \\w_2=9\ \in tolerance \ range.

I have no idea what this is-
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

the question is asking you to find the area i.e length of the angle and for that you have to find out the length of the xy and kz by making equations.

you can do Xy=Kz as they are parallel lines and i think the answer will be 5m and after finding the length do the following process
