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.

Explain: how would you model 5 x 2/3
ELEN [110]
Well as you can see 5 x 2/3= 3 1/3 there is 7 steps to figure it out

1. set up the problem
5 x 2/3

2. put a 1 on 5 to make it a fraction
5/1 x 2/3

3. multiply and divide
(5 x 2) / (1/3)

4. find out the answer
10/3

5. turn the answer into a mixed fraction
10 divided by 3= 3.1 3 stays the same you don't need to say 1

6. it equals
3 1/3

7. so the answer is
3 1/3

lions [1.4K]

The second store offered the better buy at the price of $92.00.

What is better buy?

Better buy refers to the lowest price out of the prices offered by the three stores.

In order to determine the lowest price, the no discount price of the first store needs to be compared to the prices of  two other stores, bearing that after-discount price is the pre-discount price multiplied by 1 minus the discount rate.

First store price=$95.00

Second store after-discount price=pre-tax discount price*(1-discount rate)

pre-discount price=$115

discount rate=20%

Second store after-discount price=$115*(1-20%)

Second store after-discount price=$92.00

Third store after-discount price=pre-tax discount price*(1-discount rate)

pre-discount price=$105

discount rate=10%

Third store after-discount price=$105*(1-10%)

Third store after-discount price=$94.50
